Herein, we report that a combination of LiO-tBu, CsF, and 18-crown-6 can be used to carry out the carboxylation of indole derivatives at the C-2 position under an ambient CO2 atmosphere. Substrates bearing an electrophilic substituent (i.e., cyano, formyl, benzoyl, phenylsulfonyl, phenylsulfinyl, and chloride) at the C-3 position are smoothly converted into their corresponding carboxylated products with high functional group compatibility.

An efficient Rh(iii)-catalyzed straightforward strategy was developed for the tandem C4 arylamination/annulation of indole derivatives with anthranil to provide indoloquinoline moieties. This method is simple and regioselective with a wide scope and functional group tolerance. Mechanistic studies revealed the important role of the newly installed azacycle in the conversion of O-protected aldoximes to their cyano derivatives. Studies were carried out to explore the promising photophysical properties of the obtained indoloquinoline derivatives.

Inhibition of microtubule function using tubulin targeting agents has received growing attention in the last several decades. The indole scaffold has been recognized as an important scaffold in the design of novel compounds acting as antimitotic agents. Indole-based chalcones, in which one of the aryl rings was replaced by an indole, have been explored in the last few years for their anticancer potential in different cancer cell lines. Eighteen novel (3′,4′,5′-trimethoxyphenyl)-indolyl-propenone derivatives with general structure 9 were synthesized and evaluated for their antiproliferative activity against a panel of four different human cancer cell lines. The highest IC50 values were obtained against the human promyelocytic leukemia HL-60 cell line. This series of chalcone derivatives was characterized by the presence of a 2-alkoxycarbonyl indole ring as the second aryl system attached at the carbonyl of the 3-position of the 1-(3′,4′,5′-trimethoxyphenyl)-2-propen-1-one framework. The structure–activity relationship (SAR) of the indole-based chalcone derivatives was investigated by varying the position of the methoxy group, by the introduction of different substituents (hydrogen, methyl, ethyl or benzyl) at the N-1 position and by the activity differences between methoxycarbonyl and ethoxycarbonyl moieties at the 2-position of the indole nucleus. The antiproliferative activity data of the novel synthesized compounds revealed that generally N-substituted indole analogues exhibited considerably reduced potency as compared with their parent N-unsubstituted counterparts, demonstrating that the presence of a hydrogen on the indole nitrogen plays a decisive role in increasing antiproliferative activity. The results also revealed that the position of the methoxy group on the indole ring is a critical determinant of biological activity. Among the synthesized derivatives, compound 9e, containing the 2-methoxycarbonyl-6-methoxy-N-1H-indole moiety exhibited the highest antiproliferative activity, with IC50 values of 0.37, 0.16 and 0.17 μM against HeLa, HT29 and MCF-7 cancer cell lines, respectively, and with considerably lower activity against HL-60 cells (IC50: 18 μM). This derivative also displayed cytotoxic properties (IC50 values ～1 μM) in the human myeloid leukemia U-937 cell line overexpressing human Bcl-2 (U-937/Bcl-2) via cell cycle progression arrest at the G2-M phase and induction of apoptosis. The results obtained also demonstrated that the antiproliferative activity of this molecule is related to inhibition of tubulin polymerisation. The presence of a methoxy group at the C5- or C6-position of the indole nucleus, as well as the absence of substituents at the N-1-indole position, contributed to the optimal activity of the indole-propenone-3′,4′,5′-trimethoxyphenyl scaffold.
Regioselective intramolecular reactions of 2-indolylacyl radicals with pyridines: A direct synthetic entry to ellipticine quinones

2-Indolylacyl radicals generated from the corresponding selenoesters under hexabutylditin-hv conditions undergo regioselective intramolecular reaction with unprotonated pyridines to give polycyclic indolylpyridyl ketones. For substrates bearing a (3-pyridyl)methyl moiety connected to the 3-position of the indole ring, the cyclization provides easy access to ellipticine quinones.

The Baeyer-Villiger rearrangement of substituted 1H-indole-3-carbaldehydes afforded the corresponding substituted 1,2-dihydro-3H-indol-3-ones. The influence of 3-carbonyl and 1-protecting groups has been examined. Reaction has been extended to 1H-indole-2-carbaldehydes and used for synthesis of 1-(phenylsulfonyl)-1H-indol-2-yl trifluoromethanesulfonate.
