Acid-catalyzed cleavage of C-C bonds enables atropaldehyde acetals as masked C2 electrophiles for organic synthesis

Acid-catalyzed tandem reactions of atropaldehyde acetals were established for the synthesis of three important molecules, 2,2-disubstituted indolin-3-ones, naphthofurans and stilbenes. The synthesis was realized using novel reaction cascades, which involved the same two initial steps: (i) SN2′ substitution, in which the atropaldehyde acted as an electrophile; and (ii) oxidative cleavage of the carbon-carbon bond of the generated phenylacetaldehyde-type products. Compared with literature methods, the present protocol not only avoided the use of expensive noble metal catalysts, but also enabled a simple operation.

Iron-catalysed radical cyclization to synthesize germanium-substituted indolo[2,1-a]isoquinolin-6(5H)-ones and indolin-2-ones

A simple and efficient strategy for iron-catalysed cascade radical cyclization was developed, by which an array of germanium-substituted indolo[2,1-a]isoquinolin-6(5H)-ones and indolin-2-ones were obtained in one pot with germanium hydrides as radical precursors. A rapid intramolecular radical trapping mode enabled the selective arylgermylation of alkenes over the prevalent hydrogermylation reaction.

Iminyl-radicals by electrochemical decarboxylation of α-imino-oxy acids: construction of indole-fused polycyclics

Iminyl radicals are reactive intermediates that can be used for the construction of various valuable heterocycles. Herein, the electrochemical decarboxylation of α-imino-oxy acids for the generation of iminyl radicals has been accomplished under exogenous-oxidant- and metal-free conditions through the use ofnBu4NBr as a mediator. The resulting iminyl radicals undergo intramolecular cyclization smoothly with the adjacent (hetero)arenes to afford a series of indole-fused polycyclic compounds.

Synthesis of Indoles through Domino Reactions of 2-Fluorotoluenes and Nitriles

Indoles are essential heterocycles in medicinal chemistry, and therefore, novel and efficient approaches to their synthesis are in high demand. Among indoles, 2-aryl indoles have been described as privileged scaffolds. Advanced herein is a straightforward, practical, and transition-metal-free assembly of 2-aryl indoles. Simply combining readily available 2-fluorotoluenes, nitriles, LiN(SiMe3)2, and CsF enables the generation of a diverse array of indoles (38 examples, 48–92 % yield). A range of substituents can be introduced into each position of the indole backbone (C4 to C7, and aryl groups at C2), providing handles for further elaboration.

Pd-catalyzed C–H bond activation of Indoles for Suzuki reaction

Abstract: We present a practical method for Suzuki coupling by which unprotected or N-protected indoles may be selectively arylated in the C2-position through direct C–H bond activation by electrophilic Pd(TFA) 2 catalyst. The protocol is operationally simple as it is carried out in dioxane/water mixture, and air as the sole oxidant at room temperature. Various 2-arylated indoles were obtained in good yields. The protocol works for benzofuran, pyrrole and thiophene also. Graphic abstract: Selective C-2 arylation of heterocycles using Pd(II) catalyst via C–H activation was performed under ambient condition. C3–C2 migration of organopalladium intermediate controls the reaction pathway.[Figure not available: see fulltext.].

Synthesis of 2-substituted indole with Hantzsch ester catalyzed by palladium

An efficient reductive cyclization of o-nitrobenzyl ketone compounds was achieved by using a Hantzsch 1,4-dihydropyridine ester as a biomimetic reducing agent in the presence of catalytic palladium on carbon. 2-Substituted indoles were obtained in good yields. Investigation of the mechanism suggests that palladium hydride promotes the reduction of nitro group, and acetic acid was beneficial for the loss of water to produce the intended product. This reaction system can not only broaden the use of Hantzsch 1,4-dihydropyridine ester, but it also provides a novel approach for preparing indole compounds.

A Three-Component Strategy for Benzoselenophene Synthesis under Metal-Free Conditions Using Selenium Powder

An efficient three-component benzoselenophenes formation has been developed from substituted indoles, acetophenones, and selenium powder under metal-free conditions. 2-Aryl indoles played an important role to promote benzoselenophene formation from acetophenone derivatives and selenium powder. One C-C and two C-Se bonds were selectively formed to provide 40 new benzoselenophenes in good yields.

The invention discloses a method for directly synthesizing indole by using nitrile. The method is characterized in that a 2-iodotoluene derivative is served as a substrate, anhydrous copper sulfate, potassium tert-butoxide, a cyanophenyl derivative and the 2-iodophene derivative are mixed according to the molar ratio of (0.02-0.1): (2-4): (5-20):1, reaction is carried out for 4-48 hours at 60-105DEG C in a solvent, petroleum ether/dichloromethane/ethyl acetate are mixed according to the volume ratio of (20-5):10:1 so as to be served as an eluent, and separation is carried out by using a silica gel column so as to obtain a target product. The method has the advantages that the operation is simple, the conditions are mild, the yield is high, and the method is a green and novel synthetic method.
