Heterogeneous palladium-catalysed intramolecular C(sp3)[sbnd]H α-arylation for the green synthesis of oxindoles

Herein, we present our results on the development of a waste-minimized protocol for the synthesis of oxindoles using cyclopentyl methyl ether (CPME) as a safe and green reaction medium and palladium on carbon (Pd/C) as a reusable catalyst. This protocol is efficiently applied to a variety of substrates affording products with excellent yields, minimal metal contamination and minimum waste production. The catalyst was recovered and reused for four consecutive runs without any apparent loss of efficiency. Moreover, products were isolated by simple precipitation from heptane with no need for chromatographic separations, and both CPME and heptane were recovered. Waste-minimization is reflected by the low E-factor calculated for the presented protocol.

3-Carboxamide oxindoles as 1,3-C,N-bisnucleophiles for the highly diastereoselective synthesis of CF3-containing spiro-δ-lactam oxindoles featuring acyl at the ortho-position of spiro carbon atom

A simple and efficient strategy has been established for the synthesis of δ-lactam fused oxindoles via the Michael/N-hemiketalization cascade reaction of 3-carboxamide oxindoles and α,β-unsaturated trifluoromethyl ketones. A wide range of structurally novel CF3-containing spiro-δ-lactam oxindoles featuring acyl at the ortho-position of spiro carbon atoms were obtained in moderate to good yields with excellent diastereoselectivities under mild conditions. This work represents the first example of a systematic study of 3-carboxamide oxindoles as 1,3-C,N bisnucleophiles.

Synthesis of Oxindole Derivatives via Intramolecular C–H Insertion of Diazoamides Using Ru(II)-Pheox Catalyst

This work presented the efficient intramolecular aromatic C–H insertion of diazoacetamide. The 1a–1o diazo compounds (except for 1k) were converted into their corresponding oxindoles via an intramolecular C–H insertion reaction in the presence of a Ru catalyst. The Ru-Pheox catalyst was shown to be highly efficient in this transformation in terms of the regioselectivity, producing the desired products in excellent yield (99%). The efficiency of the Ru catalyst reached 580 (TON) and 156 min?1 (TOF).

Acylation of oxindoles using methyl/phenyl estersviathe mixed Claisen condensation - an access to 3-alkylideneoxindoles

Predominantly, aggressive acid chlorides and stoichiometric coupling reagents are employed in the acylating process for synthesizing carbonyl tethered heterocycles. Herein, we report simple acyl sources,viz. methyl and phenyl esters, which acylate oxindolesviathe mixed Claisen condensation. This straightforward protocol is mediated by LiHMDS and KOtBu and successfully applied to a wide range of substrates. It is a noteworthy transformation that skips the stepwise generation of enolates and acylation, and the reaction is performed at a moderate temperature with no side reactions. This protocol produces the first examples ofortho-substituents in an aryl ring flanked with electron-donating and electron-withdrawing substrates. Interestingly, robust organometallic ferrocenyl methyl ester cleaved under these conditions with ease. Furthermore, biologically important Tenidap's analog was synthesized by this protocol.

Candida antarctica lipase-B-catalyzed kinetic resolution of 1,3-dialkyl-3-hydroxymethyl oxindoles

Candida antarctica (CAL-B) lipase-catalyzed resolution of 1,3-dialkyl-3-hydroxymethyl oxindoles has been performed to obtain (R)-1,3-dialkyl-3-acetoxymethyl oxindoles with up to 99% ee and (S)-1,3-dialkyl-3-hydroxymethyl oxindoles with up to 78% ee using vinyl acetate as acylating agent and acetonitrile as solvent transforming (S)-3-allyl-3-hydroxymethyl oxindole to (3S)-1′-benzyl-5-(iodomethyl)-4,5-dihydro-2H-spiro[furan-3,3′-indolin]-2′-one. The optically active 3-substituted-3-hydroxymethyl oxindoles and spiro-oxindoles are among the key synthons in the synthesis of potentially biologically active molecules.

Site-Selective C–H Functionalization of (Hetero)Arenes via Transient, Non-symmetric Iodanes

Fosu, Hambira, and colleagues describe the direct C–H functionalization of medicinally relevant arenes or heteroarenes. This strategy is enabled by transient generation of reactive, non-symmetric iodanes from anions and PhI(OAc)2. The site-selective incorporation of Cl, Br, OMs, OTs, and OTf to complex molecules, including within medicines and natural products, can be conducted by the operationally simple procedure included herein. A computational model for predicting site selectivity is also included. The discovery of new medicines is a time- and labor-intensive process that frequently requires over a decade to complete. A major bottleneck is the synthesis of drug candidates, wherein each complex molecule must be prepared individually via a multi-step synthesis, frequently requiring a week of effort per molecule for thousands of candidates. As an alternate strategy, direct, post-synthetic functionalization of a lead candidate could enable this diversification in a single operation. In this article, we describe a new method for direct manipulation of drug-like molecules by incorporation of motifs with either known pharmaceutical value (halides) or that permit subsequent conversion (pseudo-halides) to medicinally relevant analogs. This user-friendly strategy is enabled by combining commercial iodine reagents with salts and acids. We expect this simple method for selective, post-synthetic incorporation of molecular diversity will streamline the discovery of new medicines. A strategy for C–H functionalization of arenes and heteroarenes has been developed to allow site-selective incorporation of various anions, including Cl, Br, OMs, OTs, and OTf. This approach is enabled by in situ generation of reactive, non-symmetric iodanes by combining anions and bench-stable PhI(OAc)2. The utility of this mechanism is demonstrated via para-selective chlorination of medicinally relevant arenes, as well as site-selective C–H chlorination of heteroarenes. Spectroscopic, computational, and competition experiments describe the unique nature, reactivity, and selectivity of these transient, unsymmetrical iodanes.

Enantioselective Arylation of 3-Carboxamide Oxindoles with Quinone Monoimines and Synthesis of Chiral Spirooxindole-benzofuranones

A highly enantioselective arylation of 3-carboxamide oxoindoles with quinone monoimines is described. Various 3-aryl-3-carboxamide oxindoles with an all-carbon quaternary center were obtained in moderate to good yields (up to 99%) with moderate to good enantioselectivities (up to 98%) in the presence of a bifunctional thiourea-tertiary amine catalyst. The absolute configuration of one product was determined by an X-ray crystal structural analysis and the absolute configurations of the other products can be assigned by analogy. Moreover, several chiral spirooxindole-benzofuranones were synthesized from the 3-aryl-3-carboxamide oxindoles in moderate yields with moderate to good enantioselectivities.

Palladium(II)/N-Heterocyclic Carbene Catalyzed One-Pot Sequential α-Arylation/Alkylation: Access to 3,3-Disubstituted Oxindoles

Rationally designed fluorene-based mono- and bimetallic Pd-PEPPSI complexes were synthesized and demonstrated to be effective for the one-pot sequential α-arylation/alkylation of oxindoles. This streamlined approach offers efficient access to functionalized 3,3-disubstituted oxindoles in excellent yields (up to 89%) under mild reaction conditions.

Cinchona-alkaloid-catalyzed enantioselective hydroxymethylation of 3-fluorooxindoles with paraformaldehyde

Cinchona-alkaloid-catalyzed hydroxymethylation of 3-fluorooxindoles using paraformaldehyde as the C1 unit was achieved. A wide range of 3-fluorooxindoles was successfully reacted to give the corresponding 3-fluoro-3-hydroxymethyloxindoles with high efficiency and moderate to good enantioselectivity.

Transition-metal-free Chemoselective Oxidative C?C Coupling of the sp3 C?H Bond of Oxindoles with Arenes and Addition to Alkene: Synthesis of 3-Aryl Oxindoles, and Benzofuro- and Indoloindoles

A transition-metal (TM)-free and halogen-free NaOtBu-mediated oxidative cross-coupling between the sp3 C?H bond of oxindoles and sp2 C?H bond of nitroarenes has been developed to access 3-aryl substituted and 3,3-aryldisubstituted oxindoles in DMSO at room temperature in a short time. Interestingly, the sp3 C?H bond of oxindoles could also react with styrene under TM-free conditions for the practical synthesis of quaternary 3,3-disubstituted oxindoles. The synthesized 3-oxindoles have also been further transformed into advanced heterocycles, that is, benzofuroindoles, indoloindoles, and substituted indoles. Mechanistic experiments of the reaction suggests the formation of an anion intermediate from the sp3 C?H bond of oxindole by tert-butoxide base in DMSO. The addition of nitrobenzene to the in-situ generated carbanion leads to the 3-(nitrophenyl)oxindolyl carbanion in DMSO which is subsequently oxidized to 3-(nitro-aryl) oxindole by DMSO.
