Facile synthesis of bis(indolyl)methanes catalyzed by ?-chymotrypsin.

ABSTRACT: A mild and efficient method catalyzed by ?-chymotrypsin was developed for the synthesis of bis(indolyl)methanes through a cascade process between indole and aromatic aldehydes. In the ethanol aqueous solution, a green medium, a wide range of aromatic aldehydes could react with indole to afford the desired products with moderate to good yields (from 68% to 95%) using a little ?-chymotrypsin as catalyst.

Synthesis of Bis(indolyl)methanes Using Hyper-Cross-Linked Polyaromatic Spheres Decorated with Bromomethyl Groups as Efficient and Recyclable Catalysts.

Project description:Highly uniform and hyper-cross-linked polyphenanthrene and polypyrene microspheres were synthesized by Friedel-Crafts bromomethylation of phenanthrene (Phn) and pyrene (Py) in the presence of zinc bromide as a catalyst, followed by self-polymerization of bromomethylated Phn and Py. The resultant 3-D carbon microspheres consisting of micro-, meso-, and macropores bear peripheral unreacted bromomethyl groups, which are directly utilized as catalysts to efficiently promote the electrophilic substitution reaction of indoles with aldehydes to yield a variety of bis(indolyl)methanes. The important features of this catalysis are easy catalyst synthesis, high product yields, environmental benignity, short reaction time, broad substrate scope, use of nontoxic solvents, and recyclability.

Development of an imidazole salt catalytic system for the preparation of bis(indolyl)methanes and bis(naphthyl)methane.

Project description:Imidazolium salts are shown to catalyze the rapid room temperature reaction of indoles or naphthol with aldehydes to provide bis(indolyl)methanes or bis(naphthol)methane in excellent yields and the reaction proceeds optimally in dichloromethane with no base additives. The reaction exhibits a broad substrate tolerance and occurs through nucleophilic activation of the indoles and naphthols through a cation-π interaction.

Facile Rh(III)-Catalyzed Synthesis of Fluorinated Pyridines.

Project description:A Rh(III)-catalyzed C-H functionalization approach was developed for the preparation of multisubstituted 3-fluoropyridines from ?-fluoro-?,?-unsaturated oximes and alkynes. Oximes substituted with aryl, heteroaryl, and alkyl ?-substituents were effective coupling partners, as were symmetrical and unsymmetrical alkynes with aryl and alkyl substituents. The first examples of coupling ?,?-unsaturated oximes with terminal alkynes was also demonstrated and proceeded with uniformly high regioselectivity to provide single 3-fluoropyridine regioisomers. Reactions were also conveniently set up in air on the benchtop.

Sequential one-pot synthesis of bis(indolyl)glyoxylamides: Evaluation of antibacterial and anticancer activities.

Project description:A series of bis(indolyl)glyoxylamides 10a-n has been designed and synthesized. In situ generated indole-3-glyoxalylchloride from the reaction of readily available indole 9 with oxalyl chloride was treated with tryptamine to produce bis(indolyl)glyoxylamides 10a-n in 82-93% yields. All the synthesized bis(indolyl)glyoxylamides were well characterized and tested for their antibacterial activity against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacterial strains. Compounds 10d, 10g and 10i were found to display potent antibacterial activity against Gram-negative strain. Further, the cytotoxicity of bis(indolyl)glyoxylamides 10a-n were evaluated against a panel of human cancer cell lines. Of the screened analogues, compound 10f (IC50=22.34?M; HeLa, 24.05?M; PC-3, 21.13?M; MDA-MB-231 and 29.94?M; BxPC-3) was identified as the most potent analogue of the series. Exposure of PC-3 cells to either 10a or 10f resulted in increased levels of cleaved PARP1, indicating that bis(indolyl)glyoxylamides induce apoptosis in PC-3 cells. Most importantly, compounds 10d, 10g and 10i were completely ineffective in mammalian cells, suggesting that they target bacterial-specific targets and thus will not display any toxicity in host cells.

Palladium-catalysed synthesis of triaryl(heteroaryl)methanes.

Project description:Tetraarylmethane derivatives are desirable for a variety of applications, but difficult to access with modern C-C bond-forming reactions. Here we report a straightforward method for palladium-catalysed arylation of aryl(heteroaryl)methanes and diaryl(heteroaryl)methanes with aryl chlorides. This reaction enables introduction of various aryl groups to construct triaryl(heteroaryl)methanes via a C-H functionalization in good to excellent yield, and represents the first step towards a general transition metal catalysed synthesis of tetraarylmethanes.

Base metal-catalyzed benzylic oxidation of (aryl)(heteroaryl)methanes with molecular oxygen.

Project description:The methylene group of various substituted 2- and 4-benzylpyridines, benzyldiazines and benzyl(iso)quinolines was successfully oxidized to the corresponding benzylic ketones using a copper or iron catalyst and molecular oxygen as the stoichiometric oxidant. Application of the protocol in API synthesis is exemplified by the alternative synthesis of a precursor to the antimalarial drug Mefloquine. The oxidation method can also be used to prepare metabolites of APIs which is illustrated for the natural product papaverine. ICP-MS analysis of the purified reaction products revealed that the base metal impurity was well below the regulatory limit.

The Hexameric Resorcinarene Capsule as a Bronsted Acid Catalyst for the Synthesis of Bis(heteroaryl)methanes in a Nanoconfined Space.

Project description:Herein, we show that the hexameric resorcinarene capsule C is able to catalyze the formation of bis(heteroaryl)methanes by reaction between pyrroles or indoles and carbonyl compounds (?-ketoesters or aldehydes) in excellent yields and selectivity. Our results suggest that the capsule can play a double catalytic role as a H-bond catalyst, for the initial activation of the carbonyl substrate, and as a Brønsted acid catalyst, for the dehydration of the intermediate alcohol.

Investigations on Gold-Catalyzed Thioalkyne Activation Toward Facile Synthesis of Ketene Dithioacetals.

Project description:Nucleophilic addition to thioalkynes was investigated under various catalytic conditions with gold(I) complexes being identified as the optimal catalysts. Structural evaluation of the product revealed an unexpected cis-addition, arising from a gold-associated thioketene intermediate. Based on this interesting mechanistic insight, a gold(I)-catalyzed thioether addition to thioalkynes was developed as a novel approach to prepare ketene dithioacetals with good yields and high efficiency.
