An Al(OTf)3-catalyzed environmentally benign process for the propargylation of indoles

Al(OTf)₃ catalyzed the alkylation of indoles using secondary/tertiary propargylic alcohols to produce 3-propargylated indoles in excellent yields with high selectivity. The reactions were performed in air with commercial grade solvents, and water was the only side product of the process. The catalyst was recovered after completion of the reaction and re-used with minimum loss of activity over three cycles.     

Spectrophotometric Determination of Diphenylamine,Pyrrole, and Indole - A Kinetic Study

Abstract

The use of p-dimethylaminocinnamaldehyde (p-DAC) has been described for the colorimetric determination of diphenylamine (DPA), Pyrrole (Py) and Indole (In) in acidic media. The kinetics of the reactions were studied and a mechanism for the reactions has been proposed. The reaction products were isolated, and identified using IR, NMR and elemental analysis.     

General synthesis of mono-, di-, and tri-acetylated indoles from indolin-2-ones

Having developed the one-pot triacetylation of indolin-3-ones, we have now devised a simple two-step reaction sequences to produce di- and mono-acetylated indoles from indolin-2-ones. The indolin-2-ones were first subjected to acetylation in the presence of acetic anhydride and a catalytic amount of N,N-dimethylaminopyridine to give 2-acetoxy-1,3-diacetylindoles. Subsequently, an enzyme-assisted deacetylation resulted in the chemoselective deprotection of the acetoxy group to produce 1,3-diacetyl-2-hydroxyindoles. However, a chemical deacetylation of 2-acetoxy-1,3-diacetylinoles under mild basic or acidic conditions resulted in the formation of 3-acetyl-2-hydroxyindoles.     

Facile syntheses of 7,9-dimethoxypyrrolo[3,2,1-ij]quinolin-6-ones

The activated dimethoxypyrrolo[3,2,1-ij]quinolin-6-one ring system was synthesized via two approaches, starting from an indole and quinolin-4-one, respectively. Subsequent demethylation led to both monohydroxy- and dihydroxypyrrolo[3,2,1-ij]quinolin-6-ones.     

Iridium‐Catalyzed Asymmetric Allylic Dearomatization by a Desymmetrization Strategy

A desymmetrization strategy was developed involving iridium‐catalyzed allylic dearomatization of indoles. The six‐membered‐ring spiroindolenines contain three contiguous stereogenic centers, including an all‐carbon quaternary center, and were obtained in up to 99 % yield with 99 % ee and >95:5 d.r. When treated with a catalytic amount of tosylic acid, six‐membered spiroindolenine undergoes an unprecedented six‐to‐seven‐membered ring expansion, affording the corresponding hexahydroazepino[4,5‐b ]indole.     

From building block to natural products: a short synthesis and complete NMR spectroscopic characterization of (±)-anatabine and (±)-anabasine

A short and straightforward synthesis of the racemic tobacco alkaloids anatabine and anabasine in five and six steps, respectively, from 3-pyridinecarboxaldehyde utilizing Barbier-type Zn-mediated allylation and ring-closing olefin metathesis, as the key steps, is reported. Additionally, a complete NMR spectroscopic analysis of the final products is carried out and full assignment of the NMR spectra of anatabine and anabasine with accurate coupling constants is accomplished and reported here for the first time.
