, p. 5413 - 5418 (2004)
The synthesis of indoles bearing alkenyl and alkynyl moieties in different positions of the nucleus is described. These compounds are used as substrates for the intermolecular Pauson-Khand reaction leading to tetracyclic cyclopentenones with formation of additional five- to seven-membered rings. Products are related to alkaloids such as mitosenes, clausines, ergotamines, or apogeissochizines.

A range of functionalized heteroaromatic boronic acid derivatives are readily accessed by a diboration/6π-electrocyclization sequence. This study revealed the surprising observation that there is a direct relationship between oxime ether stereochemistry and reactivity towards electrocyclization. Specifically, E-oxime ethers are found to be significantly more reactive than their Z-counterparts (stereochemistry relative to azatriene scaffold). In contrast, the configuration at the azatriene alkene terminus has little impact on reaction rates. Computational analysis offers a rationale for this observation; a Nlone pair→C=C π* orbital interaction lowers the energy of the transition state in the electrocyclization of E-oxime ethers. Finally, unreactive Z-oxime ethers can be converted to the corresponding heterocyclic products by a photolytically promoted E→Z isomerization and electrocyclization sequence.
Three-step one-pot synthesis of 1,4-dihydropyrazolo[4,3-b]indoles using copper catalysis
Liu, Hong,Liu, Hailong,Zhang, Lei,Zhao, Fei

A convenient three-step one-pot copper-catalysed method has been developed for the preparation of pyrazolo[4,3-b]indoles, new indole-based compounds with potential biological activity. Treatment of various hydrazines, including alkyl hydrazines, with indole-2-carbaldehydes generated the corresponding products in moderate to good yields without protection of the indole N-1 moiety. In addition, LiOH was used as a base in the copper-catalysed coupling reaction. Microwave heating was used to accelerate the iodination of indoles and the C-N bond formation. Diversely substituted pyrazolo[4,3-b]indoles, based on a new indole-containing skeleton, were prepared in a three-step one-pot procedure from unprotected indole-2-carbaldehydes and various hydrazines. LiOH was used as an alternative base in the copper-catalysed protocol. Copyright
