A newly developed, efficient catalytic system for direct C2-arylation of indoles with aryl halides in aqueous medium under mild conditions (80 °C) is reported. These procedures are free of toxic solvents, and exhibit improved yields and high chemo- and regioselectivity. Georg Thieme Verlag KG · Stuttgart · New York.

A series of 2- and 3-aryl substituted indoles and two 1,3,4,5-tetrahydropyrano[4,3-b]indoles were synthesized from indole and 5-methoxyindole. The 2-aryl indoles were synthesized from the 1-(phenylsulfonyl)indole derivatives using magnesiation followed by iodination. The 2-iodinated compounds were then subjected to Suzuki-Miyaura reactions. In addition, the 3-aryl indoles were made from the corresponding 3-bromoindoles using Suzuki-Miyaura reactions. The 1,3,4,5-tetrahydropyrano[4,3-b]indoles were also synthesized from 1-(phenylsulfonyl)indole by magnesiation followed by treatment with allylbromide. The product was then converted into [2-allyl-1-(phenylsulfonyl)-1H-indol-3-yl]methanol which upon exposure to Hg(OAc)2 and NaBH4 afforded tetrahydropyrano[4,3-b]indoles. A number of the 2- and 3-aryl indoles displayed noteworthy antimicrobial activity, with compound 13a displaying the most significant activity (3.9 μg/mL) against the Gram-positive micro-organism Bacillus cereus.
