A Practical, Multi-gram Synthesis of (±)-Herbindole A, (±)-Herbindole B, and (±)-Herbindole C from a Common Intermediate via 6,7-Indole Aryne Cycloaddition and Pd(0)-Catalyzed Cross-Coupling Reactions.


ABSTRACT: A practical, multi-gram 10-step synthesis of racemic herbindole A, B, and C from a common intermediate is described. The key step features a remarkably regioselective C-7 metal-halogen exchange and elimination from a Bartoli-generated N-t-butyldimethylsilyl-4,6,7-tribromo-5-methylindole scaffold to afford the 6,7-indole aryne. Cycloaddition with cyclopentadiene, oxidative cleavage, and Fujimoto reduction gave a common intermediate from which all three herbindoles were readily derived. A final Pd(0)-catalyzed Negishi and Stille cross-coupling reaction at the C-4 bromide afforded each of the herbindoles on a multigram scale.
