Polyfunctional indoles bearing substituents at C5 and C6 are prevalent in natural products, pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and materials. Owing to the remoteness of the C5 and C6 positions, indoles of this family can be difficult to prepare, and often require multistep syntheses. Herein, we describe a concise process that converts simple derivatives of tyrosine into 5,6-difunctionalized indoles by direct oxidation of C?H, N?H, and O?H bonds. Our work draws inspiration from the biosynthetic polymerization of tyrosine to make melanin pigments, but makes an important departure to provide well-defined indole heterocycles.

(Chemical Equation Presented) A unified convenient strategy for the synthesis of 5,6-dihydroxyindole-derived 2,7′-, 2,2′-, and 2,3′-biindolyls is reported, which is based on proper manipulation of key o-ethynylaniline precursors. By the same methodology 5

A facile 3-step synthesis of 5,6-dihydroxyindole (4a) is reported, featuring the Zn(II)-controlled regioselective nitration of 3,4- dihydroxynitrostyrene (2) with tetranitromethane at pH 8.0, and the reductive cyclization of the resulting 4,5-dihydroxy-2,β-dinitrostyrene (3a) with Na2S2O4/Zn(II) at pH 4. The latter procedure was successfully extended to the conversion of the 2,β-dinitrostyrenes 3b and 3c to 5,6-dibenzyloxyindole (4b) and 5,6-diacetoxyindole (4c) in good-to-high yields.
