Imidoyl sulfoxonium ylides are presented for the first time as potential precursors to generate α-imino metal-carbene intermediates and applied in direct C-H functionalization reactions catalyzed by [Ir(cod)Cl]2 (4 mol %) to provide 2-substituted indoles (up to 70% yield) in just one step. This class of sulfur ylide is successfully obtained from imidoyl chloride and dimethylsulfoxonium methylide (23 new examples in 45-85% yield) or by imino group formation from the corresponding β-keto sulfoxonium ylides and anilines in the presence of TiCl4 as a Lewis acid (9 examples in 33-94% yield).

Indole derivatives have attractive anticancer properties and may be a future hope for better anticancer drug(s) of low toxicity and high potency. In this paper, syntheses of 2-phenylindole derivatives have been described via Fischer indole synthesis through a one-pot solvent-free method. The synthesized compounds were screened for anticancer potential in vitro against murine melanoma (B16F10), human lung cancer (A549), and human breast cancer (MDA-MB-231) cell lines. The results highlighted that 2-phenylindole derivatives are also promising anticancer agents in case of melanoma and lung cancer along with the breast cancer. Molecular docking analyses with possible targets for melanoma (NEDD4-1) and lung cancer (EGFR) were also performed to understand specific interactions of 2-phenylindole derivatives with the amino acid residues of the receptors.
Oxygenophilic Lewis Acid Promoted Synthesis of 2-Arylindoles from Anilines and Cyanoepoxides in Alcohol

A convenient synthetic method to indoles from anilines and cyanoepoxides was developed under the catalysis of BF3·OEt2 or AlCl3 in alcohols. The reaction involves a tandem reaction of the regiospecific ring-opening of cyanoepoxides with anilines, elimination of cyanide, intramolecular aromatic electrophilic substitution, and water elimination. The Lewis acid generated protic acid is an efficient catalyst. The method features readily accessible starting materials, wide substrate scope, transition-metal-free environment, and regiospecificity in the ring-opening of cyanoepoxides.
