Electrochemical Umpolung C-H Functionalization of Oxindoles
Pastor, Miryam,Vayer, Marie,Weinstabl, Harald,Maulide, Nuno
, p. 606 - 612 (2022/01/12)
Herein, we present a general electrochemical method to access unsymmetrical 3,3-disubstituted oxindoles by direct C-H functionalization where the oxindole fragment behaves as an electrophile. This Umpolung approach does not rely on stoichiometric oxidants and proceeds under mild, environmentally benign conditions. Importantly, it enables the functionalization of these scaffolds through C-O, and by extension to C-C or even C-N bond formation.

Malaria is an infectious illness, affecting vulnerable populations in Third World countries. Inspired by natural products, indole alkaloids have been used as a nucleus to design new antimalarial drugs. So, eighteen oxindole derivatives, aza analogues were obtained with moderate to excellent yields. Also, the saturated derivatives of oxindole and aza derivatives via H2/Pd/C reduction were obtained in good yields, leading to racemic mixtures of each compound. Next, the inhibitory activity against P. falciparum of 18 compounds were tested, founding six compounds with IC50 20 μM. The most active of these compounds was 8c; however, their unsaturated derivative 7c was inactive. Then, a structure-activity relationship analysis was done, founding that focused LUMO lobe on the specific molecular zone is related to inhibitory activity against P. falciparum. Finally, we found a potential inhibition of lactate dehydrogenase by oxindole derivatives, using molecular docking virtual screening.

The feasibility of using activity-directed synthesis to drive antibacterial discovery was investigated. An array of 220 Pd-catalysed microscale reactions was executed, and the crude product mixtures were evaluated for activity against Staphylococcus aureus. Scale-up of the hit reactions, purification and evaluation, enabled expansion of a class of antibacterial quinazolinones. The novel antibacterials had MICs from 0.016 μg mL-1 (i.e. 38 nM) to 2-4 μg mL-1 against S. aureus ATCC29213. This journal is

A general and efficient iron-catalyzed C-alkylation of oxindoles has been developed. This borrowing hydrogen approach employing a (cyclopentadienone)iron carbonyl complex (2 mol %) exhibited a broad reaction scope, allowing benzylic and simple primary and secondary aliphatic alcohols to be employed as alkylating agents. A variety of oxindoles underwent selective mono-C3-alkylation in good-to-excellent isolated yields (28 examples, 50–92 % yield, 79 % average yield).

Chakraborty, Subrata,Daw, Prosenjit,Ben David, Yehoshoa,Milstein, David
, p. 10300 - 10305 (2018/10/20)
Herein we report the manganese-catalyzed C-C bond-forming reactions via α-alkylation of ketones, amides, and esters, using primary alcohols. β-Alkylation of secondary alcohols by primary alcohols to obtain α-alkylated ketones is also reported. The reactions are catalyzed by a (iPr-PNP)Mn(H)(CO)2 pincer complex under mild conditions in the presence of (catalytic) base liberating water (and H2 in the case of secondary alcohol alkylation) as the sole byproduct.
Pd(0)-Catalyzed Chemoselective Deacylative Alkylations (DaA) of N-Acyl 2-Oxindoles: Total Syntheses of Pyrrolidino[2,3- b]indoline Alkaloids, (±)-Deoxyeseroline, and (±)-Esermethole

We report an efficient Pd(0)-catalyzed deacylative allylation of N-acyl 3-substituted 2-oxindoles via the coupling of in situ generated nucleophiles (3 and 4) with allyl electrophiles for the synthesis of a variety of 2-oxindoles with C3-quaternary centers. Gratifyingly, this alkylation process is found to be highly chemoselective in nature, where a C-C bond formation is completely predominant over a C-N bond formation. A variety of key intermediates were synthesized utilizing an aforementioned methodology.

An efficient enantioselective alkylation of N-unprotected 3-substituted oxindoles was realized by using a chiral N,N′-dioxide/scandium(III) complex as the catalyst. A wide range of 3,3-dialkyl substituted oxindoles with quaternary stereocenters were obtained in high yields and ee values (up to 98% yield and 99% ee). (Figure presented.).

Transition metal and reductant free α-C(sp3)-H hydroxylation of carbonyl compounds are reported. This method is promoted by commercially available inexpensive KO-t-Bu and atmospheric air as an oxidant at room temperature. This unified strategy is also very facile for hydroxylation of various carbonyl compound derivatives to obtain quaternary hydroxyl compounds in excellent yield. A preliminary mechanistic investigation, supported by isotope labeling and computational studies, suggests the formation of a peroxide bond and its cleavage by in situ generated enolate.

3-Substituted oxindoles are very interesting molecules both for their potential biological activity and for their role as starting materials toward more complex oxindole-based structures. These molecules can be prepared by the reduction of a 3-ylidene oxi

An oxidative sequence for the conversion of oxindoles to structurally distinct heterocyclic scaffolds and aniline derivatives is disclosed by the combination of a copper-catalyzed C-H peroxidation and subsequent base-mediated fragmentation reaction. In contrast to classic enzymatic (i.e., kynurenine pathway) and biomimetic methods (i.e., Witkop-Winterfeldt oxidation) for oxidative indole cleavage, this protocol allows for the incorporation of external nucleophiles. The new transformation displays broad functional group tolerance and is applicable to tryptophan derivatives, opening potential new avenues for postsynthetic modification of polypeptides, bioconjugation, and unnatural amino acid synthesis.
