Synthesis of Carbazoles by a Diverted Bischler-Napieralski Cascade Reaction.

ABSTRACT: An unforeseen twist in a seemingly trivial Bischler-Napieralski reaction led to the selective formation of an unexpected carbazole product. The reaction proved to be general, providing access to a range of diversely substituted carbazoles from readily available substrates. Judicious variation of substituents revealed a complex cascade mechanism comprising no less than 10 elementary steps, that could be diverted in multiple ways toward various other carbazole derivatives.

Synthesis of spirocyclic indolines by interruption of the Bischler-Napieralski reaction.

Project description:The development of a versatile method for the synthesis of spirocyclic pyrrolidinoindolines is discussed. Treatment of N-acyltryptamines with trifluoromethanesulfonic anhydride-2-chloropyridine reagent combination affords highly persistent spiroindoleninium ions that are subject to intra- and intermolecular addition at C2 by nucleophiles.

Synthesis of tetracyclic spiroindolines by an interrupted Bischler-Napieralski reaction: total synthesis of akuammicine.

Project description:Judicious substrate design allows interruption of the classical Bischler-Napieralski reaction, providing access to a range of diversely substituted tetracyclic spiroindolines. These complex polycyclic scaffolds are valuable building blocks for the construction of indole alkaloids, as showcased in a concise total synthesis of (±)-akuammicine.

Direct Observation of Intermediates Involved in the Interruption of the Bischler-Napieralski Reaction.

Project description:The first mechanistic investigation of electrophilic amide activation of ?,?-disubstituted tertiary lactams and the direct observation of key intermediates by in situ FTIR, (1)H, (13)C, and (19)F NMR in our interrupted Bischler-Napieralski-based synthetic strategy to the aspidosperma alkaloids, including a complex tetracyclic diiminium ion, is discussed. The reactivity of a wide range of pyridines with trifluoromethanesulfonic anhydride was systematically examined, and characteristic IR absorption bands for the corresponding N-trifluoromethanesulfonylated pyridinium trifluoromethanesulfonates were assigned. The reversible formation of diiminium ether intermediates was studied, providing insight into divergent mechanistic pathways as a function of the steric environment of the amide substrate and stoichiometry of reagents. Importantly, when considering base additives during electrophilic amide activation, more hindered ?-quaternary tertiary lactams require the use of non-nucleophilic pyridine additives in order to avoid deactivation via a competing desulfonylation reaction. The isolation and full characterization of a tetracyclic iminium trifluoromethanesulfonate provided additional correlation between in situ characterization of sensitive intermediates and isolable compounds involved in this synthetic transformation.

Synthesis of Carbazoles and Dihydrocarbazoles by a Divergent Cascade Reaction of Donor-Acceptor Cyclopropanes.

Project description:An alkylation/olefination cascade of indolecarboxaldehydes and phosphonate-functionalized donor-acceptor cyclopropanes affords functionalized dihydrocarbazoles and cyclohepta[cd]indoles in formal (3 + 3) and (4 + 3) cycloadditions. A minor modification to the reaction conditions also allows access to the fully aromatic heterocyclic scaffolds by thermal loss of an electron-rich aryl moiety.

Electrochemical Synthesis of Carbazoles by Dehydrogenative Coupling Reaction.

Project description:A constant current protocol, employing undivided cells, a remarkably low supporting electrolyte concentration, inexpensive electrode materials, and a straightforward precursor synthesis enabling a novel access to N-protected carbazoles by anodic N,C bond formation using directly generated amidyl radicals is reported. Scalability of the reaction is demonstrated and an easy deblocking of the benzoyl protecting group is presented.

A Bischler-Napieralski and homo-Mannich sequence enables diversified syntheses of sarpagine alkaloids and analogues.

Project description:Sarpagine alkaloids offer signicant opportunities in drug discovery, yet the efficient total syntheses and diverse structural modifications of these natural products remain highly challenging due to the architectural complexity. Here we show a homo-Mannich reaction of cyclopropanol with imines generated via a Bischler-Napieralski reaction enables a protecting-group-free, redox economic, four-step access to the tetracyclic sarpagine core from L-tryptophan esters. Based on this advancement, diversified syntheses of sarpagine alkaloids and analogues are achieved in a short synthetic route. The systematic anticancer evaluation indicates that natural products vellosimine and Na-methyl vellosimine possess modest anticancer activity. Intensive structural optimization of these lead molecules and exploration of the structure-activity relationship lead to the identification of analogue 15ai with an allene unit showing a tenfold improvement in anticancer activities. Further mechanism studies indicate compound 15ai exertes antiproliferation effects by inducing ferroptosis, which is an appealing non-apoptotic cell death form that may provide new solutions in future cancer therapies.

Direct synthesis of aryl-annulated [<i>c</i>]carbazoles by gold(i)-catalysed cascade reaction of azide-diynes and arenes.

Project description:The gold-catalysed annulation of conjugated alkynes bearing an azido group with arenes gave annulated [c]carbazoles. Using benzene, pyrrole, and indole derivatives as the nucleophiles, benzo[c]-, pyrrolo[2,3-c]-, and indolo[2,3-c]carbazoles were produced, respectively. The reaction proceeded through pyrrole and benzene ring construction accompanied by the formation of two carbon-carbon and one carbon-nitrogen bond and the cleavage of two aromatic C-H bonds. The mechanism of the reaction with pyrrole was investigated by density functional theory calculations. N,N'-dimethylated indolo[2,3-c]carbazole showed dual ultraviolet-visible-near-infrared and fluorescence spectral changes upon electrolysis.

Efficient synthesis of polyfunctionalized carbazoles and pyrrolo[3,4<i>-c</i>]carbazoles via domino Diels-Alder reaction.

Project description:The p-TsOH-catalyzed Diels-Alder reaction of 3-(indol-3-yl)maleimides with chalcone in toluene at 60 °C afforded two diastereoisomers of tetrahydropyrrolo[3,4-c]carbazoles, which can be dehydrogenated by DDQ oxidation in acetonitrile at room temperature to give the aromatized pyrrolo[3,4-c]carbazoles in high yields. On the other hand, the one-pot reaction of 3-(indol-3-yl)-1,3-diphenylpropan-1-ones with chalcones or benzylideneacetone in acetonitrile in the presence of p-TsOH and DDQ resulted in polyfunctionalized carbazoles in satisfactory yields. The reaction mechanism included the DDQ oxidative dehydrogenation of 3-(indol-3-yl)-1,3-diphenylpropan-1-ones to the corresponding 3-vinylindoles, their acid-catalyzed Diels-Alder reaction and sequential aromatization process.

A Diverted Aerobic Heck Reaction Enables Selective 1,3-Diene and 1,3,5-Triene Synthesis through C-C Bond Scission.

Project description:Substituted 1,3-dienes are valuable synthetic intermediates used in myriad catalytic transformations, yet modern catalytic methods for their preparation in a highly modular fashion using simple precursors are relatively few. We report here an aerobic boron Heck reaction with cyclobutene that forms exclusively linear 1-aryl-1,3-dienes using (hetero)arylboronic acids, or 1,3,5-trienes using alkenylboronic acids, rather than typical Heck products (i.e., substituted cyclobutenes). Experimental and computational mechanistic data support a pericyclic mechanism for C-C bond cleavage that enables the cycloalkene to circumvent established limitations associated with diene reagents in Heck-type reactions.
