A pure ruthenium hydride complex with N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligand was efficiently generated from the reaction of a second-generation Grubbs ruthenium catalyst with vinyloxytrimethylsilane and unambiguously characterized. This ruthenium hydride complex showed high catalytic activity for the selective isomerization of terminal olefin and for the cycloisomerization of 1,6-dienes. These reactions of N-allyl-o-vinylaniline lead to novel synthetic methods for heterocycles such as indoles and 3-methylene-2,3-dihydroindoles, which are useful synthons for bioactive natural products. These procedures address an important issue in diversity-oriented synthesis.

A new, short-step synthesis of a β-adrenergic blocking agent, pindolol, 1-(4-indolyloxy)-3-(2-propylamino)-2-propanol, is described. The acid-catalyzed indole cyclization reaction of 4-[1-(4-methylphenyl)sulfonyl-3-pyrrolyl]-4-oxobutanal (14) in the presence of (±)-3-chloro-1,2-propanediol (12) and (R)-1-O-[(4-methylphenyl)sulfonyl]glycerol (24) afforded (±)-1-chloro-3-[1-(4-methylphenyl)sulfonyl-4-indolyloxy]-2-propanol (15) and (R)-(-)-3-[1-(4-methylphenyl)sulfonyl-4-indolyloxy]-1-[(4-methylphenyl sulfonyloxy]-2-propanol (25). Reaction of these with isopropylamine and removal of the protecting group at the indole nitrogen gave (±)- and (S)-(-)-pindolol (3 and 4), thus constituting an efficient three-step synthesis of 3 and 4 from the readily available aldehyde (14).

A novel method for the preparation of indole derivatives that are alkoxy- and hydroxy-substituted in the benzene portion of the indole nucleus is described. The acid-induced cyclization reaction of (arylsulfonyl)pyrrole derivatives (4a, 4b, 5b, and 5a) in
