, p. 1750 - 1753 (2015)
Pd(II)-catalyzed double cyclization of 1,2-diarylethynes bearing an N-methyl-N-[2-(methoxycarbonyl)ethyl]amino and an aminocarbonyl group at the ortho positions of the two aromatic rings afforded the tetracyclic N-[2-(methoxycarbonyl)ethyl]indoloisoquinolinones in good to excellent yields. The N-[2-(methoxycarbonyl)ethyl] group is readily removed under basic conditions (DBU, DMF, 120 °C) to afford the corresponding tetracycles with a free indolyl nitrogen in excellent yields. The 2-(methoxycarbonyl)ethyl as a removable N-protecting group is illustrated in other Pd(II)- and Pd(0)-catalyzed and selenium-mediated transformations.

The reactions of indole (1) with iodotoluene in the presence of norbornene or dicyclopentadiene led to the formation of indole derivative (2a). It is through the C-H activation at ortho-position of indole by Catellani-type reactions. Besides, several palladium complexes (4a, 4b, 5a, 5b, 6a, and 6b), containing either single or double norbornene or dicyclopentadiene fragments via insertion into the Pd-C(aryl) bond of the formerly formed palladium-containing intermediate, were obtained and characterized by spectroscopic means as well as by X-ray diffraction methods. The ratios of 2a to 5a could be altered by employing different palladium sources. Triple insertion of norbornene or dicyclopentadiene into the Pd-C(aryl) bond was not observed.

A one-pot approach for the asymmetric synthesis of C2-tetrasubstituted indolin-3-ones from 2-substituted indoles was developed via merging transition metal catalysis with organocatalysis. This strategy involves two processes, including CuI catalyzed oxidative dearomatization of 2-substituted indoles using O2 as green oxidant, and followed by an proline-promoted asymmetric Mannich reaction with ketones or aldehydes. A series of C2-tetrasubstituted indolin-3-ones were obtained in 35–86% yields, 2:1->20:1 dr and 48–99% ee. Moreover, the synthetic 2-tetrasubstituted indolin-3-ones could be easily transformed into 1H-[1,3] oxazino [3,4-a]indol-5(3H)-ones via a [4+1] cyclization process. In addition, the synthetic compound 3 s show certain antibacterial activity against S. aureus ATCC25923 and multi-drug resistance bacterial strain of S. aureus (20151027077) and its MIC values up to 8 μg/mL and 16 μg/mL, respectively.

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.

Dehydrotryptophan derivatives have been prepared by palladium-catalyzed aminocyclization-Heck-type coupling cascades starting from o-alkynylaniline derivatives and methyl α-aminoacrylate. Aryl, alkyl (primary, secondary, and tertiary), and alkenyl substituents have been introduced at the indole C-2 position. Further variations at the indole benzene ring, as well as the C-2-unsubstituted case, have all been demonstrated. In the case of C-2 aryl substitution, the preparation of the o-alkynylaniline substrate by Sonogashira coupling and the subsequent cyclization-coupling cascade have been performed in a one-pot protocol with a single catalyst. DFT calculations have revealed significant differences in the reaction profiles of these reactions relative to those involving methyl acrylate or methacrylate, and between the reactions of the free anilines and their corresponding carbamates. Those calculations suggest that the nature of the alkene and of the acid HX released in the HX/alkene exchange step that precedes C-C bond formation could be responsible for the experimentally observed differences in reaction efficiencies.

An efficient B(C6F5)3-catalyzed aerobic oxidative C-S cross-coupling reaction of thiophenol with indoles was developed, affording a wide range of diaryl sulfides in good yields. An electron donor-acceptor complex between B(C6F5)3 and indoles was formed, facilitating the photoinduced single-electron transfer (SET) from indole substrates to the B(C6F5)3 catalyst. This protocol demonstrates a new reaction model using B(C6F5)3 as a single-electron oxidant.

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.

We report a green cascade approach to prepare a variety of 3-aminoindole derivatives in good to excellent yields through an iron(iii)-catalyzed dehydrogenative cross-coupling reaction of 2-arylindoles and primary benzylamines under mild reaction conditions. Mechanistic studies show that a cascade reaction involves a tert-butyl nitrite (TBN)-mediated nitrosation of 2-substituted indoles and a 1,5-hydrogen shift to afford indolenine oximes, sequential iron(iii)-catalyzed condensation and a 1,5-hydrogen shift over four steps in a one-pot reaction. The reaction shows a broad substrate scope of indoles and benzylamines and tolerates a wide range of functional groups. Moreover, the reaction is easily performed at the gram scale without producing waste after the reaction is completed. The 3-aminoindole product is purified by simple extraction, washing, and recrystallization without flash column chromatography. A double imine ligand containing the 3-aminoindole unit is facile to obtain in a 52% yield in one step. The present method highlights readily available starting materials, a simple purification procedure, and the usage of cheap, nontoxic, and environmentally benign iron(iii) catalysts. This journal is
Discovery of New 4-Indolyl Quinazoline Derivatives as Highly Potent and Orally Bioavailable P-Glycoprotein Inhibitors
Chen, Zhe-Sheng,Dai, Qing-Qing,Li, Guo-Bo,Liu, Hong-Min,Liu, Hui,Wang, Bo,Wang, Shaomeng,Yu, Bin,Yuan, Shuo,Zhang, Jing-Ya,Zhang, Xiao-Nan,Zuo, Jia-Hui

The major drawbacks of P-glycoprotein (P-gp) inhibitors at the clinical stage make the development of new P-gp inhibitors challenging and desirable. In this study, we reported our structure-activity relationship studies of 4-indolyl quinazoline, which led to the discovery of a highly effective and orally active P-gp inhibitor, YS-370. YS-370 effectively reversed multidrug resistance (MDR) to paclitaxel and colchicine in SW620/AD300 and HEK293T-ABCB1 cells. YS-370 bound directly to P-gp, did not alter expression or subcellular localization of P-gp in SW620/AD300 cells, but increased the intracellular accumulation of paclitaxel. Furthermore, YS-370 stimulated the P-gp ATPase activity and had moderate inhibition against CYP3A4. Significantly, oral administration of YS-370 in combination with paclitaxel achieved much stronger antitumor activity in a xenograft model bearing SW620/Ad300 cells than either drug alone. Taken together, our data demonstrate that YS-370 is a promising P-gp inhibitor capable of overcoming MDR and represents a unique scaffold for the development of new P-gp inhibitors.

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.
