Two distinct conformers of the cyclic heptapeptide phakellistatin 2 isolated from the fijian marine sponge stylotellaaurantium

The isolation, structure determination, and solution conformation of two conformers of the cyclic heptapeptide phakellistatin 2 (cyclo-[Phe1-cis-Pro2-Ile3-Ile4-cis-Pro5-Tyr6-cis-Pro7]) isolated from the Fijian marine sponge Stylotella aurantium are reported. The conformers can be isolated separately by HPLC and are stable in methanol solution over a period of weeks as determined by NMR. Their NMR spectra and mass spectral fragmentation patterns differ significantly. Their solution conformations were determined by NOE-restrained molecular dynamics calculations and indicated that the two conformers had different folds, hydrogen bonding patterns, and solvent accessible surfaces. These factors may contribute to the independent stability of the two conformers, and may explain the variable biological activity previously reported for phakellistatin 2.     

Enantioselective Total Synthesis of Cymoside through a Bioinspired Oxidative Cyclization of a Strictosidine Derivative

The first total synthesis of the caged monoterpene indole alkaloid cymoside is reported. This natural product displays a unique hexacyclic‐fused skeleton whose biosynthesis implies an early oxidative cyclization of strictosidine. Our approach to the furo[3,2‐b]indoline framework relied on an unprecedented biomimetic sequence which started by the diastereoselective oxidation of the indole ring into a hydroxyindolenine which triggered the addition of an enol ether and was followed by the trapping of an oxocarbenium intermediate.

A concise stereoselective route to the indoline spiroaminal framework of neoxaline and oxaline

The stereoselective synthesis of tetracyclic intermediate, the indoline spiroaminal 3 for neoxaline (1) and oxaline (2), has been accomplished. The key step of the stereoselective synthesis of 3 was the Lewis acid mediated transcyclization of 4 to the diaminal 18, and the tungstate-catalyzed oxidation of 18 to obtain the nitrone 19, which easily cyclizes to the indoline spiroaminal framework 3.

Efficient synthesis of N-prenylpyrroloindoline and N-prenylindole alkaloids based on a new four-reaction anionic domino process

Treatment of 2,5-diketopiperazines or carbamates derived from tryptophan or tryptamine with iodomethyltrimethylsilane followed by lithium hexamethyldisilazane and a prenyl halide produced stereoselectively derivatives of the hexahydropyrrolo[2,3-b]indole system bearing prenyl substituents both at C-3a and at the indoline nitrogen in a one-pot procedure involving a novel four-reaction anionic domino process. The reaction was applied to the preparation of N-prenyltryprostatin B and to achieving a very efficient formal total synthesis of the biologically active marine natural product (+/-)-debromoflustramine B.

Investigations of the products of the reaction of epichlorohydrin with aromatic amines

Heating 3-hydroxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydrobenzo[h]quinoline with phosphorus oxychloride gave a mixture of isomeric 3-chloro-1,2,3,4-tetrahydrobenzo[h]quinoline and 2-(chloromethyl)-benz[g]indoline, which are converted to a mixture of 3-benzoyloxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydrobenzo-[h]quinoline and 2-(benzoyloxymethyl)benz[g]indoline on reaction with potassium benzoate. Saponification of 2-(benzoyloxymethyl)benz[g]indoline gave 2-(hydroxymethyl)benz[g]indoline. The reaction of the isomeric chloro derivatives with potassium cyanide gave 2-(benz[g]-indolinyl)acetonitrile.See [1] for communication IX.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 3, pp. 362–366, March, 1972.

Total Synthesis of Calophyline A

Reported herein is the total synthesis of calophyline A, an indoline natural product possessing distinct ring connectivity which has not been synthesized previously. The synthetic route features several key transformations, including an aza‐pinacol rearrangement to construct the nitrogen‐containing bridged [3.2.2] bicycle, a Heck cyclization to assemble the fused 6/5/6/5 ring system, and a challenging late‐stage aldol reaction to generate both a neopentyl quaternary stereogenic center and an oxygen‐containing bridged [3.2.1] bicycle.     

High yielding synthesis of 3a-hydroxypyrrolo[2,3-b]indoline dipeptide methyl esters: synthons for expedient introduction of the hydroxypyrroloindoline moiety into larger peptide-based natural products and for the creation of tryptathionine bridges

This work describes a rapid and high yielding oxidation of 14 tryptophanylated amino acid methyl esters to the corresponding 3a-hydroxypyrrolo[2,3-b]indoline (Hpi) amino acids with generally facile separation of syn-cis and anti-cis diastereomers. Structural X-ray diffraction data are presented for both diastereomers of Tr-Hpi-Gly-OMe, which allow for a putative assignment of the other 13 pairs of diastereomers reported herein, based on correlations with 1H NMR chemical shifts. Selective and high yielding deprotection at either the N or C terminus is described, allowing the Hpi motif to be introduced efficiently into potential targets with minimal protecting group manipulation. Two tripeptides containing Hpi and cysteine were prepared and treated with acid in the Savige-Fontana reaction to produce a cyclic tryptathionine linkage, characteristic of both amatoxins and phallotoxins.     

Efficient synthesis of achiral seco-cyclopropylbenz[2,3-e]indoline analogues: [4-amino-2-(5,6,7-trimethoxyindole-2-carboxamido)naphthalen-1-yl]ethyl chloride and [4-hydroxy-2-(5,6,7-trimethoxyindole-2-carboxamido)naphthalen-1-yl]ethyl chloride

Achiral seco-aminocyclopropylbenz[2,3-e]indoline and seco-hydroxycyclopropylbenz[2,3-e]indoline (seco-CBI) analogues of the duocarmycins and CC-1065, e.g., 7 and 8, are potent anticancer agents. This paper describes significantly improved synthetic strategies for preparing these compounds. Starting from Martius acid (9), the new strategy gave a 13-fold increase in the overall yield of 7, and the use of di-tert-butyl malonate was economically beneficial. For compound 8, the new strategy employed an Emmons-Horner reaction, followed by a Stobbe condensation, and the overall yield was improved 15-fold.     

Facile synthesis of spiro[benzo[e]indole-2,2′-piperidine] derivatives and their transformation to novel fluorescent scaffolds

The reaction of azaheterocyclic enamines with acrylamide was employed for the preparation of novel fluorescent scaffolds possessing a benzo[e]indoline moiety. Reaction of 3-substituted 2-methylidene-1H-benzo[e]indole with acrylamide gave rise to spiro[benzo[e]indole-2,2′-piperidin]-6′-ones. Ring opening reactions of the latter spiro compounds were investigated. Benzo[e]indoline derivatives possessing 2-(3-carbamoylpropyl), 2-[3-(ethoxycarbonyl)propyl] and 2-(4-aminobutyl) side chains were synthesised. The optical properties of the benzo[e]indoline derivatives were studied by UV-vis and fluorescence spectroscopy.     

Asymmetric Total Syntheses of Kopsane Alkaloids via a PtCl2-Catalyzed Intramolecular [3+2] Cycloaddition

A concise and asymmetric total synthesis of five kopsane alkaloids that share a unique heptacyclic caged ring system was accomplished. The key transformation in the sequence involved a remarkable PtCl₂-catalyzed intramolecular [3+2] cycloaddition, which allowed for the rapid assembly of pentacyclic carbon skeletons bearing 2,3-quaternary functionalized indoline. Expeditious construction of diverse indoline scaffolds with excellent control of diastereoselectivity demonstrated the broad scope and versatility of this key transformation.     

Investigation of the products of the reaction of epichlorohydrin with aromatic amines

Synthesis of (−)-Dihydroraputindole D by Enantioselective Benzoylation of a 1,3-Diol Intermediate

The enantioselective synthesis of (−)-dihydroraputindole D is reported. The key step is the desymmetrizing benzoylation of a prochiral 1,3-diol employing Trost′s ProPhenol catalyst system, which has been applied for the first time to a cyclic molecule carrying geminal hydroxymethyl groups. The cyclopenta[f]indoline system was assembled by Au(I)-catalyzed cyclization of an alkynylated indoline precursor. (−)-Dihydroraputindole D was obtained in 17 steps and 8% overall yield starting from dihydroxyacetone. In combination with quantum chemical calculations of the ECD spectra, our synthesis allowed us to determine the absolute configuration (5S,7R) of the natural product (+)-raputindole D from the Rutaceous plant Raputia simulans.     

Synthesis,Modification, and Anticonvulsant Activity of 3′‐R1‐Spiro[indoline‐3,6′‐[1,2,4]triazino[2,3‐c]quinazolin]‐2,2′(7′H)‐diones Derivatives

Previously unknown 3′‐R¹‐5‐R²‐spiro[indoline‐3,6′‐[1,2,4]triazino[2,3‐c]quinazoline]‐2,2′‐(7′H)‐diones and their N‐substituted analogues were obtained via reaction of 6‐R¹‐3‐(2‐aminophenyl)‐1,2,4‐triazin‐5‐ones with isatin and its substituted derivatives. It was shown that alkylation of 3′‐R¹‐5‐R²‐spiro[indoline‐3,6′‐[1,2,4]triazino[2,3‐c]quinazolin]‐2,2′‐(7′H)‐diones by N‐R³‐chloroacetamides or chloroacetonitrile in the presence of а base proceeds by N‐1 atom of isatin fragment. The spectral properties (¹H and ¹³C NMR spectra) of synthesized compounds were studied, and features of spectral patterns were discussed. The high‐effective anticonvulsant and radical scavenging agents among 3′‐R¹‐5‐R²‐spiro[indoline‐3,6′‐[1,2,4]triazino[2,3‐c]quinazolin]‐2,2′(7′H)‐diones and their N‐substituted derivatives were detected. It was shown that compounds 2.2 , 2.8 , and 3.1 exceed or compete the activity of the most widely used in modern neurology drug—lamotrigine on the pentylenetetrazole‐induced seizures model. The aforementioned fact may be considered as a reason for further profound study of synthesized compounds using other pathology models.

Formation of oxadiazolo[4,5-a]indolines via addition reactions of cycloalkano[b]indoles with nitrile oxides. Crystal structure of an adduct

Reactions of stable nitrile oxides with cycloalkano[b]indoles gave as main product adducts 3 containing the oxadiazolo[4,5-a]indoline ring system. The structure elucidation of the isolated adducts was based on their spectral data, chemical behaviour and in one case the structure was confirmed by crystallographic X-ray analysis. The mechanism of the reaction is also discussed.     

Unusual heterocyclization of chalcone podands with 3-amino-1,2,4-triazole

A new type of intramolecular cyclization of 1,5-bis[2-(E-3-oxo-3-phenylprop-1-enyl)-phenoxy]-3-oxapentane with 3-aminotriazole promoted by potassium ions was discovered. A cascade mechanism for the formation of crownophane with 4,7-dihydro[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]-pyrimidine fragment was suggested. Effects of oligooxyethylene fragment of the chalcone podand and acid-base catalysis on the selectivity of the cyclocondensation processes and degree of oxidation of triazolopyrimidine fragments were studied. The product structures were confirmed by IR, ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction study.
