- A three-step, highly enantioselective synthesis of (R)-2-methyl tryptophane ethyl ester: Comparison with chemical resolution
-
(R)-2-Methyltryptophan ethyl ester, (R)-2, having an enantiomeric purity >,=96% was obtained in 3 steps and using (SSS)-hydroxypinanone, 1, as the recoverable chiral auxiliary. The synthesis of the alkylating agent, 5a, was improved (to a reproduceble 55% overall yield from 2,3-dimethylindole). The resolution of racemic-2 through chromatographic separation of the corresponding iminoester derived from (RRR)-1 also proved to be easy and efficient (-25% yield).

- Intramolecular cooperative C-C bond cleavage reaction of 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds with 2-iodoanilines to give o-(N-Acylamino)aryl ketones and multisubstituted indoles
-
A copper-catalyzed C-C bond cleavage reaction of 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds with 2-iodoanilines was developed. In this process, the ortho effect played an important role in the reactivity and a new reaction pathway that involved a (2-aminophenyl)-bis-(1,3-dicarbonyl) copper species was clearly observed by a time-course HRMS analysis of the reaction mixture. Unlike the previous reports, both the nucleophilic and electrophilic parts of the 1,3-dicarbonyl compound were coupled with 2-iodoaniline by C-C bond cleavage to form o-(N-acylamino)aryl ketones, which could be efficiently converted into multisubstituted indoles.

- Regioselective hydroarylation reactions of C3 electrophilic N-acetylindoles activated by FeCl3: An entry to 3-(Hetero)arylindolines
-
A method for the direct and rare umpolung of the 3 position of indoles is reported. The activation of N-acetylindole with iron(III) chloride allows the C-H addition of aromatic and heteroaromatic substrates to the C2-C3 double bond of the indole nucleus to generate a quaternary center at C3 and leads regioselectively to 3-arylindolines. Optimization, scope (50 examples), practicability (gram scale, air atmosphere, room temperature), and mechanistic insights of this process are presented. Synthetic transformations of the indoline products into drug-like compounds are also described.

Dirhodium(II)-carboxylate complexes were discovered to promote the selective migration of acyl groups in trisubstituted styryl azides to form 1,2,3-trisubstituted indoles. The styryl azides are readily available in three steps from cyclobutanone and 2-iod

- Reactions of N-Acylated Indoles with Singlet Oxygen
-
Reactions of seven N-acyl indole derivatives with singlet oxygen have been investigated. 1-Acetyl-(1a) and 1-(chloroacetyl)-2,3-dimethylindole (1b) gave exclusively 1-acetyl- (2a) and 1-(chloroacetyl)-2-hydroperoxy-3-methyleneindoline (2b), respectively, in high yields via ene reaction on irradiation with oxygen in the presence of TPP sensitizer. 1-Acetyl-3-methylindole (1c) gave only 1-acetyl-2-hydroperoxy-3-methyleneindoline (2c) in low yield under the same conditions.In contrast, 1-acetyl-2-methyl-3-ethylindole (3a) and 1-acetyl-2-methyl-3-isopropylindole (3b) gave a mixture of ene products, 2-hydroperoxy- and 3-hydroperoxyindolines (4a and b and 5a and b), in addition to 2,3-bond cleavage products 6a and 6b, respectively.In the case of 1-acetyl-2-methyl-3-tert-butylindole (7), only the product of 2,3-bond cleavage (8) was obtained.A 1,2-dioxetane is intermediate in the cleavage and could be observed after photooxygenation of 7 at -5 deg C by NMR and was reduced by trimethylphosphite and dimethyl sulfide.The decomposition rate constant of 1,2-dioxetane 10 was measured by NMR; Ea is 24.6 kcal/mol.

-
The effect of steric factors on the indolization under the conditions of heterogeneous catalysis was investigated for the case of a series of N-alkyl- and N-aryl-substituted phenylhydrazones of methyl ethyl ketone.There is a definite correlation between the stereochemical structure of the arylhydrazones and their ability to undergo cyclization to the corresponding indole.
