Pd/β-cyclodextrin-catalyzed C-H functionalization in water: A greener approach to regioselective arylation of (NH)-indoles with aryl bromides

A greener and more practical strategy for the site-selective C-H arylation of (NH)-indoles via coupling of (hetero)aryl bromides was developed, in which β-cyclodextrin, acting as both a ligand for Na2PdCl4 and a host for indoles, enables the reactions to occur easily in water. The key advantage of this method is the ingenious merging of aqueous homogeneous catalysis and ligand mediation, leading to the highly regioselective formation of C3-arylindoles with a broad substrate scope and functional-group tolerance. Moreover, the regioselectivity can be switched from the C3 to the C2-position by varying the nature of the base without recourse to employing ArI as substrates.

Regioselective mercury(I)/palladium(II)-catalyzed single-step approach for the synthesis of imines and 2-substituted indoles

An efficient synthesis of ketimines was achieved through a regioselective Hg(I)-catalyzed hydroamination of terminal acetylenes in the presence of anilines. The Pd(II)-catalyzed cycliza-tion of these imines into the 2-substituted indoles was satisfactorily carried out by a C-H acti-vation. In a single-step approach, a variety of 2-substituted indoles were also generated via a Hg(I)/Pd(II)-catalyzed, one-pot, two-step process, starting from anilines and terminal acetylenes. The arylacetylenes proved to be more effective than the alkyl derivatives.

Modular counter-Fischer?indole synthesis through radical-enolate coupling

A single-electron transfer mediated modular indole formation reaction from a 2-iodoaniline derivative and a ketone has been developed. This transition-metal-free reaction shows a broad substrate scope and unconventional regioselectivity trends. Moreover, important functional groups for further transformation are tolerated under the reaction conditions. Density functional theory studies reveal that the reaction proceeds by metal coordination, which converts a disfavored 5-endo-trig cyclization to an accessible 7-endo-trig process.

Chiral Br?nsted Acid from Chiral Phosphoric Acid Boron Complex and Water: Asymmetric Reduction of Indoles

A new chiral Br?nsted acid, generated in situ from a chiral phosphoric acid boron (CPAB) complex and water, was successfully applied to asymmetric indole reduction. This “designer acid catalyst”, which is more acidic than TsOH as suggested by DFT calculations, allows the unprecedented direct asymmetric reduction of C2-aryl-substituted N-unprotected indoles and features good to excellent enantioselectivities with broad functional group tolerance. DFT calculations and mechanistic experiments indicates that this reaction undergoes C3-protonation and hydride-transfer processes. Besides, bulky C2-alkyl-substituted N-unprotected indoles are also suitable for this system.

Synthetic method of 2-substituted indoles compounds

The invention discloses a synthetic method of 2-substituted indoles compounds, and belongs to the organic synthesis field. 2-fluorotoluene compound shown in formula 1 and nitrile compound shown in formula 2 mix with an organic solvent in the presence of strong alkali and cesium salt additives, and react to synthesize the 2-substituted indoles compounds shown in formula 3. The synthesis method of 2-substituted indoles compounds is simple, economical and has wider applicability, is suitable for large-scale production, and has a very important influence on the synthesis of indoles 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.

Regioselective Synthesis of 2-Arylindoles via Palladium-Catalyzed Cyclization of Phenylglyoxal and 2-Anilinoacetophenones with Anilines

A versatile route has been developed for the synthesis of 2-arylindoles using a Pd-catalyzed tandem process. Under reductive conditions, different 2-arylindoles were synthesized from phenylglyoxal and aniline. This synthetic methodology involves a tandem reaction of four steps with high regioselectivity. Alternatively, 2-anilinoacetophenones intermediates also can be using to give access to the corresponding 2-arylindoles.

New Indole Tubulin Assembly Inhibitors Cause Stable Arrest of Mitotic Progression, Enhanced Stimulation of Natural Killer Cell Cytotoxic Activity, and Repression of Hedgehog-Dependent Cancer

We designed 39 new 2-phenylindole derivatives as potential anticancer agents bearing the 3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl moiety with a sulfur, ketone, or methylene bridging group at position 3 of the indole and with halogen or methoxy substituent(s) at positions 4-7. Compounds 33 and 44 strongly inhibited the growth of the P-glycoprotein-overexpressing multi-drug-resistant cell lines NCI/ADR-RES and Messa/Dx5. At 10 nM, 33 and 44 stimulated the cytotoxic activity of NK cells. At 20-50 nM, 33 and 44 arrested >80% of HeLa cells in the G2/M phase of the cell cycle, with stable arrest of mitotic progression. Cell cycle arrest was followed by cell death. Indoles 33, 44, and 81 showed strong inhibition of the SAG-induced Hedgehog signaling activation in NIH3T3 Shh-Light II cells with IC50 values of 19, 72, and 38 nM, respectively. Compounds of this class potently inhibited tubulin polymerization and cancer cell growth, including stimulation of natural killer cell cytotoxic activity and repression of Hedgehog-dependent cancer.

Approaches to the synthesis of 2,3-dihaloanilines. Useful precursors of 4-functionalized-1 H-indoles

2,3-Dihaloanilines have been proved as useful starting materials for synthesizing 4-halo-1H-indoles. Subsequent or in situ functionalization of the prepared haloindoles allows the access to a wide variety of 2,4- or 2,3,4-regioselectively functionalized indoles in good overall yields. As no efficient synthetic routes to 2,3-dihaloanilines have been described in the literature, different approaches to the preparation of these 1,2,3-functionalized aromatic precursors are now presented. The most general one involves a Smiles rearrangement from the corresponding 2,3-dihalophenols and allows the preparation of 2,3-dihaloanilides in a straightforward and synthetically useful manner.

Synthesis of 4-functionalized-1H-indoles from 2,3-dihalophenols

A new synthesis of 4-halo-1H-indoles has been developed from easily available 2,3-dihalophenol derivatives. The key steps are Smiles rearrangement and a one-pot or stepwise Sonogashira coupling/NaOH-mediated cyclization. Subsequent functionalization allows access to a wide variety of 2,4- or 2,3,4-regioselectively functionalized indoles.
