Access to Polycyclic Indol(en)ines via Base-Catalyzed Intramolecular Dearomatizing 3-Alkenylation of Alkynyl Indoles

Polycyclic indolines and indolenines were synthesized via base-catalyzed intramolecular dearomatizing 3-alkenylation reactions of alkynyl indoles 1 at room temperature. The base enhanced the nucleophilicity of the carbon at the 3-position of the indole moiety, facilitating an exclusive 5-exo-dig cyclization reaction with the alkyne to form spiroindolenines 2. The imine functionality of 2 could undergo in situ nucleophilic addition to form spiroindolines 3 when R was a carbamoyl group or reduction to form spiroindolines 4 when R was H.

Triphenylphosphine/1,2-Diiodoethane-Promoted Formylation of Indoles with N, N -Dimethylformamide

Despite intensive studies on the synthesis of 3-formylindoles, it is still highly desirable to develop efficient methods for the formylation of indoles, due to the shortcomings of the reported methods, such as inconvenient operations and/or harsh reaction conditions. Here, we describe a Ph3P/ICH2CH2I-promoted formylation of indoles with DMF under mild conditions. A Vilsmeier-type intermediate is readily formed from DMF promoted by the Ph3P/ICH2CH2I system. A onestep formylation process can be applied to various electron-rich indoles, but a hydrolysis needs to be carried out as a second step in the case of electron-deficient indoles. Convenient operations make this protocol attractive.

Preparation method of non-natural L - tryptophan derivative

The invention discloses a preparation method of a non-natural L - tryptophan derivative, which is sequentially subjected to formylation by adopting a cheap and easily available substituted indole compound as a raw material. Cyclization, ring opening, asym

Access to Polycyclic Thienoindolines via Formal [2+2+1] Cyclization of Alkynyl Indoles with S8and K2S

The syntheses of polycyclic thienoindolines bearing a dihydrothiophene or tetrahydrothiophene subunit have not been reported, despite the fact that such compounds may have interesting medicinal properties. Herein, we report a protocol for accessing polycyclic dihydrothiophenes by means of formal [2+2+1] intramolecular dearomatizing cyclization of alkynyl indoles with K2S and S8 as the sources of sulfide. In addition, tetrahydrothienoindolines were stereoselectively synthesized via a one-pot, two-step protocol involving AgNO3-catalyzed alkenyl dearomatization followed by two nucleophilic addition reactions involving K2S.

Access to Polycyclic Sulfonyl Indolines via Fe(II)-Catalyzed or UV-Driven Formal [2 + 2 + 1] Cyclization Reactions of N-((1H-indol-3-yl)methyl)propiolamides with NaHSO3

A variety of structurally novel polycyclic sulfonyl indolines have been synthesized via FeCl2-catalyzed or UV-driven intramolecular formal [2 + 2 + 1] dearomatizing cyclization reactions of N-(1H-indol-3-yl)methyl)propiolamides with NaHSO3 in an aqueous medium. The reactions involve the formation of one C-C bond and two C-S bonds in a single step.

Structure-Guided Synthesis and Mechanistic Studies Reveal Sweetspots on Naphthyl Salicyl Hydrazone Scaffold as Non-Nucleosidic Competitive, Reversible Inhibitors of Human Ribonucleotide Reductase

Ribonucleotide reductase (RR), an established cancer target, is usually inhibited by antimetabolites, which display multiple cross-reactive effects. Recently, we discovered a naphthyl salicyl acyl hydrazone-based inhibitor (NSAH or E-3a) of human RR (hRR) binding at the catalytic site (C-site) and inhibiting hRR reversibly. We herein report the synthesis and biochemical characterization of 25 distinct analogs. We designed each analog through docking to the C-site of hRR based on our 2.7 ? X-ray crystal structure (PDB ID: 5TUS). Broad tolerance to minor structural variations preserving inhibitory potency is observed. E-3f (82% yield) displayed an in vitro IC50 of 5.3 ± 1.8 μM against hRR, making it the most potent in this series. Kinetic assays reveal that E-3a, E-3c, E-3t, and E-3w bind and inhibit hRR through a reversible and competitive mode. Target selectivity toward the R1 subunit of hRR is established, providing a novel way of inhibition of this crucial enzyme.

Synthesis of polycyclic spirooxindoles via an asymmetric catalytic one-pot stepwise Aldol/chloroetherification/aromatization procedure

A general method for the synthesis of chiral pentacyclic spirooxindoles containing a tetrahydropyrano[2,3-b]indole scaffold through a one-pot stepwise sequence from 3-(3-indolomethyl)oxindole, paraformaldehyde and NCS is reported. Furthermore, the pentacyclic spirooxindoles could be transformed to bispirooxindole and other structurally diverse spirocyclic oxindoles.

An environmentally friendly protocol for oxidative halocyclization of tryptamine and tryptophol derivatives

An environmentally friendly and efficient protocol (KX/oxone) for oxidative halocyclization of tryptamine/tryptophol derivatives was developed and demonstrated with 28 examples and concise total synthesis of cyclotryptamine alkaloid protubonines A and B. The distinct advantage of this protocol over all previous methods is that no organic byproduct is generated from a halogenating agent or oxidant, thus greatly reducing the environmental impact of halocyclization and facilitating the post-reaction purification.

Iron-Catalyzed C3-Formylation of Indoles with Formaldehyde and Aqueous Ammonia under Air

An efficient iron-catalyzed C3-selective formylation of free (N-H) or N-substituted indoles was developed by employing formaldehyde and aqueous ammonia, with air as the oxidant. This new method gave 3-formylindoles in moderate to excellent yields with fairly short reaction times. Moreover, this procedure for catalytic formylation of indoles can be applied to gram-scale syntheses.
