Divergent synthesis of indoles, oxindoles, isocoumarins and isoquinolinones by general Pd-catalyzed retro-aldol/α-arylation

Divergent synthesis of indoles, oxindoles, isocoumarins and isoquinolinones is described in this report by using a general Pd-catalyzed tandem reaction of β-hydroxy carbonyl compounds with aryl halides bearing an ortho-nitro, -ester or -cyano substituent. A key retro-aldol/α-arylation reaction is involved that merges classic Pd cross-coupling chemistry with novel Pd-promoted retro-aldol C-C activation to produce α-arylated ketones or esters. Subsequent intramolecular condensation of the carbonyl with the ortho-synthon gives target heterocycles. The use of common, commercially available and cheap substrates and catalyst system adds additional synthetic advantages to the conceptual significance.

Yanovsky Reaction of η6-Arene-η5-cyclopentadienyliron Cations with Carbanions derived from Ketones. Regiospecific Attack ortho to Electron Withdrawing Functions

η6-Arene-η5-cyclopentadienyliron salts containing electron withdrawing groups such as nitro, halogeno, benzoyl, cyano, and sulphonyl on the arene ring react with carbanions to give electroneutral adducts of the Yanovsky type; these a

Method for preparing indole and derivatives thereof

The invention discloses a method for preparing indole and derivatives of indole. The method for preparing indole and the derivatives of indole is characterized by comprising the following two steps that (1) a catalyst, a ligand and alkali are added in a reaction tube, under the protection of nitrogen, beta-hydroxy ketone or ester is reacted with a mixed solution of o-nitro aryl halides for 3 to 8h in an oil bath pan at the temperature of 90 to 120 DEG C, and then cooled to room temperature after reaction, and extracted, washed, dried and subjected to chromatography to obtain a product of o-nitro alpha-aryl ketone or ester; (2) o-nitro alpha-aryl ketone or ester obtained in the step (1), a reducing agent system and a solvent are added to the reaction tube, and reacted for 3 to 8h at the temperature of 60 to 100 DEG C, and then extracted, washed, dried and subjected to chromatography after being reacted to obtain a target product of indole and the derivatives of indole. Reaction raw materials, the catalyst, the ligand, the alkali and the solvent used in the invention are all industrial commodities, and simple and readily available, wide in sources, cheap in price, and further very stable in performances, and with no need for special storage conditions; in addition, the method for preparing indole and the derivatives of indole disclosed by the invention has the characteristics of low cost, high yield, simple process, less pollution and the like.
