- Indole synthesis based on a modified koser reagent
-
A new metal-free method for the rapid and productive preparation of indoles has been developed. This process is based on sterically congested hypervalent iodine compounds of the family of Koser reagents, and iodosobenzene in combination with 2,4,5-tris-isopropylbenzene sulfonic acid provides the highest yields and fastest reaction times. This reagent alone promotes the chemoselective oxidative cyclization of 2-amino styrenes to indoles in high yields under mild conditions. Convenient route to indole: A fast, productive, and operationally simple indole synthesis was developed.

- A highly selective tandem cross-coupling of gem-dihaloolefins for a modular, efficient synthesis of highly functionalized indoles
-
(Chemical Equation Presented) A highly efficient method of indole synthesis using gem-dihalovinylaniline substrates and an organoboron reagent was developed via a Pd-catalyzed tandem intramolecular amination and an intermolecular Suzuki coupling. Aryl, alkenyl, and alkyl boron reagents are all successfully employed, making for a versatile modular approach. The reaction tolerates a variety of substitution patterns on the aniline leading to indoles with group at C2-C7. The orthogonal approach of the sequential copper- and palladium-mediated synthesis of 1,2-diarylindoles exploited the wide availability of diverse organoboron reagents.

- Isotope effects in photochemistry: Application to chromatic orthogonality
-
Equation Presented The main challenge in developing new wavelength-specific photolabile protecting groups is the rigorous control of the photolysis rate. This rate is controlled by two factors: the chromophore absorbance and the reaction quantum yield. Fine-tuning the properties by changing substituents or structural features is difficult, because both factors are independently affected. By the use of the kinetic isotope effect, we could tune the quantum yield without altering the absorbance, and hence control the overall reaction rate. We exemplified this approach with chromatically orthogonally protected diesters.

The photolysis of o-nitrobenzyl alcohol derivatives shows a strong kinetic isotope effect (KIE up to 8.3) at the benzylic center. For some derivatives, the KIE is wavelength dependent, suggesting the involvement of higher excited states. In addition to th

- Photochemistry of (2-nitrophenyl)diazomethane studied by the matrix isolation technique. (Nitrophenyl)carbene to (carboxylphenyl)nitrene rearrangement by successive reduction of the nitro group with the carbenic center
-
Irradiation (λ > 350 nm) of (2-nitrophenyl)diazomethane (1) matrix-isolated in Ar at 10 K provided 2-nitrosobenzaldehyde (3) presumably as a result of intramolecular oxygen migration in (2-nitrophenyl)carbene (2). Upon further irradiation (λ > 350 nm), 3 was decomposed to give a mixture of 2,1-benzisoxazol-3(1H)-one (4) and carbonylcyclopentadiene imine (5) along with CO2. The oxazolone (4) underwent decarboxylation to give 5 upon irradiation with shorter wavelength light (λ > 300 nm) but not at longer wavelength (λ > 350 nm), suggesting 4 is not the direct precursor for 5 in the photolysis of 3. Irradiation (λ > 350 nm) of (4-n-butyl-2-nitrophenyl)diazomethane (1b) under similar conditions resulted in the formation of carbonyloximinocyclohexadienylidene (7) which then produced the oxazolone (4b) and the imine (5b) upon further irradiation, suggesting that a 1,4-biradical generated as a result of abstraction of H at the ortho position by the photoexcited nitroso group was involved in the reaction of 3 forming 4. (2-Carboxyphenyl)nitrene (9) generated by 1,4-OH shift in the 1,4-biradical was postulated as an intermediate leading to 5, and this was actually demonstrated by independent generation of 9 by the photolysis of 2-azidobenzoic acid (8).
