A series of nine novel indigo derivatives, including diiodoindigo, octahalogenated indigoids and compounds with extended π-conjugated system, were synthesized, characterized and investigated as semiconductor materials in organic field-effect transistors (OFETs). Among them, 6,6′-diiodoindigo demonstrated the ambipolar behavior with balanced p-type and n-type mobilities. The complete substitution of hydrogens at the indigo core with halogen atoms led to low electron mobilities in OFETs. An extension of the conjugated system through the introduction of small aromatic substituents (thiophene and phenyl) resulted in predominant p-type behavior. Fusion of aromatic rings resulted in z-shaped dibenzoindigo, which showed poor charge transport properties due to the non-optimal arrangement of molecules along each other in the crystal lattice. The acquired data fulfilled the previously reported model based on the relationship between the chemical nature of substituents and their positions at the indigo core, optoelectronic properties of materials and their performance in OFETs. The results of this study will be useful for rational design of a new generation of the indigo-based semiconductors for biocompatible organic electronics.
Diastereoselective Total Synthesis of Raputindole A

The first diastereoselective total synthesis of the bisindole alkaloid raputindole A is reported. After Au(I)-catalyzed assembly of the cyclopenta[f]indole tricycle, it was possible to hydrogenate the indene double bond regio- A nd diastereoselectively through iridium catalysis, guided by a preinstalled hydroxy function. Attempted HWE reaction led to formal elimination of formaldehyde from an α-quaternary cyclopentane carbaldehyde, which was circumvented by Takai olefination. After Suzuki-Miyaura cross coupling and deprotection/oxidation, (±)-raputindole A was obtained in 13 linear steps in 18% overall yield.
Total Synthesis and Absolute Configuration of Raputindole A

The first total synthesis of the bisindole alkaloid raputindole A from the rutaceous plant Raputia simulans is reported. The key step is a Au(I)-catalyzed cyclization that assembles the cyclopenta[f]indole tricycle from a 6-alkynylated indoline precursor. The isobutenyl side chain was installed by Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling, followed by a regioselective reduction employing LiDBB. Starting from 6-iodoindole, the sequence needs nine steps and provided (±)-raputindole A in 6.6% overall yield. The absolute configuration of the natural product (+)-raputindole A was determined by quantum chemical calculation of the ECD spectrum.
