- 2-Hydroxyindoline-3-triethylammonium Bromide: A Reagent for Formal C3-Electrophilic Reactions of Indoles
-
A novel indole-2,3-epoxide equivalent, 2-hydroxyindoline-3-triethylammonium bromide, was found to be a convenient reagent for formal C3-electrophilic reactions of indoles with various nucleophiles. By taking advantage of the nucleophilic character of the

- Pd(OH)2/C, a Practical and Efficient Catalyst for the Carboxylation of Benzylic Bromides with Carbon Monoxide
-
A simple, efficient, cheap, and broadly applicable system for the carboxylation of benzylic bromides with carbon monoxide and water is reported. Upon simple reaction with only 2.5 wt % of Pearlman's catalyst and 10 mol % of tetrabutylammonium bromide in tetrahydrofuran at 110 °C for 4 h, a range of benzylic bromides can be smoothly converted to the corresponding arylacetic acids in good to excellent yields after simple extraction and acid-base wash. The reaction was found to be broadly applicable, scalable, and could be successfully extended to the use of ex situ-generated carbon monoxide and applied to the synthesis of the nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug diclofenac.

- Design, synthesis and biological evaluation of pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine-based protein kinase D inhibitors
-
The multiple roles of protein kinase D (PKD) in various cancer hallmarks have been repeatedly reported. Therefore, the search for novel PKD inhibitors and their evaluation as antitumor agents has gained considerable attention. In this work, novel pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine based pan-PKD inhibitors with structural variety at position 1 were synthesized and evaluated for biological activity. Starting from 3-IN-PP1, a known PKD inhibitor with IC50 values in the range of 94–108 nM, compound 17m was identified with an improved biochemical inhibitory activity against PKD (IC50 = 17–35 nM). Subsequent cellular assays demonstrated that 3-IN-PP1 and 17m inhibited PKD-dependent cortactin phosphorylation. Furthermore, 3-IN-PP1 displayed potent anti-proliferative activity against PANC-1 cells. Finally, a screening against different cancer cell lines demonstrated that 3-IN-PP1 is a potent and versatile antitumoral agent.

- Enantioselective Syntheses of Strychnos and Chelidonium Alkaloids through Regio- and Stereocontrolled Cooperative Catalysis
-
We describe enantioselective syntheses of strychnos and chelidonium alkaloids. In the first case, indole acetic acid esters were established as excellent partner nucleophiles for enantioselective cooperative isothiourea/Pd catalyzed α-alkylation. This provides products containing indole-bearing stereocenters in high yield and with excellent levels of enantioinduction in a manner that is notably independent of the N-substituent. This led to concise syntheses of (?)-akuammicine and (?)-strychnine. In the second case, the poor performance of ortho-substituted cinnamyl electrophiles in the enantioselective cooperative isothiourea/Ir catalyzed α-alkylation was overcome by appropriate substituent choice, leading to enantioselective syntheses of (+)-chelidonine, (+)-norchelidonine, and (+)-chelamine.

- Synthesis and biological evaluation of benzothiazole incorporated 1-phenylsulfonylindole-3-acetamide derivatives
-
Indole-3-acetic acid was esterified to give methyl ester (2), which was treated with substituted aromatic sulphonyl chloride in alkaline media to give 2-[1-(phenyl sufonyl-1H-indole-3-yl]methyl acetate (3). Further the compound 3 was converted to acid (4). Finally compound 4 was coupled with 6-substituted benzothiazole-2-amines by means of EDC to give acetamide derivatives (5a-i). The structures of the newly synthesized compounds have been established by analytical and spectral methods. These compounds have also been screened for analgesic activity.

- Catalytic asymmetric hydrogenation of indoles using a rhodium complex with a chiral bisphosphine ligand PhTRAP
-
Highly enantioselective hydrogenation of N-protected indoles was successfully developed by use of the rhodium catalyst generated in situ from [Rh(nbd)2]SbF6 and the chiral bisphosphine PhTRAP, which can form a trans-chelate complex with a transition metal atom. The PhTRAP-rhodium catalyst required a base (e.g., Cs2CO3) for the achievement of high enantioselectivity. Various 2-substituted N-acetylindoles were converted into the corresponding chiral indolines with up to 95% ee. The hydrogenations of 3-substituted N-tosylindoles yielded indolines possessing a stereogenic center at the 3-position with high enantiomeric excesses (up to 98% ee).
