Abstract Cyclopropabenzaindoles (CBIs) are exquisitely potent cytotoxins which bind and alkylate in the minor groove of DNA. They are not selective for cancer cells, so prodrugs are required. CBIs can be formed at physiological pH by Winstein cyclisation of 1-chloromethyl-3-substituted-5-hydroxy-2,3-dihydrobenzo[e]indoles (5-OH-seco-CBIs). Corresponding 5-NH2-seco-CBIs should also undergo Winstein cyclisation similarly. A key triply orthogonally protected intermediate on the route to 5-NH2-seco-CBIs has been synthesised, via selective monotrifluoroacetylation of naphthalene-1,3-diamine, Boc protection, electrophilic iodination, selective allylation at the trifluoroacetamide and 5-exo radical ring-closure with TEMPO. This intermediate has potential for introduction of peptide prodrug masking units (deactivating the Winstein cyclisation and cytotoxicity), addition of diverse indole-amide side-chains (enhancing non-covalent binding prior to alkylation) and use of different leaving groups (replacing the usual chlorine, allowing tuning of the rate of Winstein cyclisation). This key intermediate was elaborated into a simple model 5-NH2-seco-CBI with a dimethylaminoethoxyindole side-chain. Conversion to a bio-reactive entity and the bioactivity of this system were confirmed through DNA-melting studies (ΔTm = 13°C) and cytotoxicity against LNCaP human prostate cancer cells (IC50 = 18 nM).

The preparation of a series of crystalline arenesulfonate derivatives of enantiomerically enriched glycidol is described.The enhancement of optical purity by recrystallization was particularly successful for two of these derivatives, glycidyl tosylate and glycidyl 3-nitrobenzenesulfonate, which were obtained in 97 percent ee and 99 percent ee, respectively.Very high regioselectivity was observed in the reactions of these compounds with a variety of nucleophiles, including aryl oxides, Et2AlCN, organometallic reagents, and BH3-NaBH4.The application of this methodology to the synthesis of homochiral β-adrenergic blocking agents and homochiral terminal epoxides is discussed.
