By using a new catalytic system (PdCl2[P(n-Bu)3]2 in combination with ZnEt2), various 3-indolylmethanol derivatives were successfully carboxylated with CO2 (1 atm) via dearomatization of the indole nucleus, affording 3-methyleneindoline-2-carboxylates. In contrast, carboxylation of 2-indolylmethanol derivatives afforded unexpected doubly carboxylated products, which are useful synthetic precursors for biologically active compounds.
Synthetic approaches toward the marine alkaloid prenostodione

An efficient synthesis of the core of prenostodione (3) is described herein featuring the base condensation of BOC-protected indole diesters 21 and 24 with p-methoxybenzaldehyde (22) and 4-[(t-butyldimethylsilyl)oxy]benzaldehyde (26). Attempts at selective saponification of the resultant diesters yielded isoprenostodione (3a) bearing the ester functionality at the C-3 position of the indole ring.
