1-(2′-Anilinyl)prop-2-yn-1-ol rearrangement for oxindole synthesis

A synthetic method that relies on NIS (N-iodosuccinimide)-mediated cycloisomerization reactions of 1-(2′-anilinyl)prop-2-yn-1-ols to gem-3-(diiodomethyl)indolin-2-ones and 2-(iodomethylene)indolin-3-ones has been developed. The reactions were shown to be chemoselective, with secondary and tertiary alcoholic substrates exclusively giving the 3- and 2-oxindole products, respectively. In the case of the latter, the transformation features an unprecedented double 1,2-OH and 1,2-alkyl migration relay. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations based on proposed iodoaminocyclization species provide insight into this unique divergence in product selectivity. Copyright

Metal-free synthesis of 1H-indole-2-carbaldehydes by N-iodosuccinimide- mediated cyclization of 1-(2′-anilinyl)prop-2-yn-1-ols in water. A formal synthesis of (R)-calindol

A N-iodosuccinimide (NIS)-mediated method to prepare 1H-indole-2- carbaldehydes efficiently from cycloisomerization of 1-(2-aminophenyl)prop-2-yn- 1-ols is described. The reaction is operationally straightforward and accomplished in good to excellent yiel

Silver triflate catalyzed tandem heterocyclization/alkynylation of 1-((2-tosylamino)aryl)but-2-yne-1,4-diols to 2-alkynyl indoles

Don't cross me! 2-Alkynyl indoles were prepared efficiently by the AgOTf-catalyzed tandem heterocyclization/alkynylation of 1-(2-tosylamino)aryl) but-2-yne-1,4-diols under mild conditions (see scheme). The attractiveness of this approach lies in the fact that both the indole ring and alkyne side chain of the N-heterocycle are sequentially formed from low cost, readily available, and ecologically benign starting materials. It also provides the first route to this synthetically valuable class of compounds that is not based on a cross-coupling strategy. Copyright

Gold-catalyzed cycloisomerizations of 1-(2-(Tosylamino)phenyl)prop-2-yn-1- ols to 1H-Indole-2-carbaldehydes and (E)-2-(Iodomethylene)Indolin-3-ols

A method to prepare lH-indole-2-carbaldehydes and (E)-2-(iodomethylene) indolin-3-ols by gold(I)-catalyzed cycloisomerization of l-(2-(tosylamino) phenyl)prop-2-yn-1-ols with N-iodosuccinimide (NIS) is reported. The reactions were shown to be operationally simplistic and proceed efficiently for a wide variety of substrates, affording the corresponding products in good to excellent yields (70-99%). The mechanism is suggested to involve activation of the alkyne moiety of the substrate by the gold(I) catalyst. This triggers intramolecular addition of the tethered aniline moiety to give a vinyl gold intermediate, which undergoes iododeauration with NIS to give the (E)-2-(iodomethylene)indolin-3-ol adduct. Subsequent 1,3-allylic alcohol isomerization (1,3-AAI) followed by formylation of this vinyl iodide intermediate then gives the 1H-indole-2-carbaldehyde.
