The selective reverse prenylation of 3-substituted-1H-indoles at C3 is described. The iridium-catalyzed reaction proceeds with high branched to linear selectivity (>20:1) for a variety of indoles. In addition, a diastereoselective reverse prenylation of tryptophan methyl ester is disclosed, and its synthetic utility is demonstrated in the synthesis of (+)-aszonalenin and (-)-brevicompanine B.

A highly enantioselective tandem Michael addition of tryptamine-derived oxindoles to alkynones was developed by taking advantage of a chiral N,N′-dioxide Sc(OTf)3 catalyst. The reaction enables the facile preparation of enantioenriched spiro[pyrrolidine-3,3′-oxindole] compounds, which provides a novel strategy for the synthesis of monoterpenoid indole alkaloids. As a demonstration, the asymmetric synthesis of strychnos alkaloids [(?)-tubifoline, (?)-tubifolidine, (?)-dehydrotubifoline] was achieved in 10–11 steps.

The combination of a Pd(0) complex with benzoic acid converts propargylic tryptamines to the corresponding tetrahydro-β-carbolines. The method uses unprotected indoles and affords the desired products with ample functional group tolerance. Detailed modeling studies reveal a close synergy between the organic and metal catalysts, which enables sequential alkyne isomerization, indole C-H activation, and eventual C-C reductive elimination to afford the target heterocycles.
Gold-Catalyzed Intramolecular Tandem Cyclization of Indole-Ynamides: Diastereoselective Synthesis of Spirocyclic Pyrrolidinoindolines

A gold-catalyzed intramolecular tandem cyclization of indole-ynamide affords tetracyclic spirocyclic pyrrolidinoindoline bearing an all-carbon quaternary stereocentre in a single step; however, when the reaction was carried out in the presence of BF3·Et2O, the corresponding tricyclic spirocyclic pyrrolidinoindoline-based enones are produced through a key 1,5-hydride shift. The developed chemistry provides a diastereoselective and straightforward entry to structurally diverse polycylic pyrrolidinoindolines from indole-ynamides in one-pot reactions under mild conditions.
