5-(α-Fluorovinyl)tryptamines and 5-(α-Fluorovinyl)-3-(N-methyl-1′,2′,5′,6′,-tetrahydropyridin-3′- and -4′-yl)indoles—5-(α-Fluorovinyl)tryptamines

5-(α-Fluorovinyl)tryptamines 4a, 4b and 5-(α-fluorovinyl)-3-(N-methyl-1′,2′,5′,6′-tetrahydropyridin-3′- and -4′-yl) indoles 5a, 5b were synthesized using 5-(α-fluorovinyl)indole ( 7 ). The target compounds are bioisosteres of 5-carboxyamido substituted tryptamines and their tetrahydropyridyl analogs.     

Reaktionen cyclischer Carbonsäureanhydride mit (α, α′-Dipyridyl)-(Cyclooctadien-1, 5)-nickel

Reactions of Cyclic Carbonic Acid Anhydrides with (α,α′-Dipyridyl)-(Cyclooctadiene-1,5) Nickel With maleic anhydride (dipy)Ni(COD) reacts by substitution forming (dipy)Ni(MSA)₂ (I) and (dipy)Ni(MSA) (II). While in I the bonding of MSA occurs only by the C = C group, in II MSA coordinates additionally by one of the carbonyl functions. With phthalic anhydride (PSA) and succinic anhydride (dipy)Ni(COD) by a redox addition gives six membered metalacycles V and VII, which are decarbonylated at higher temperatures producing the five-membered metalacycles VI and VIII. The IR spectra of the new compounds are discussed.
