PTSA‐Catalyzed Reaction of Indoles with 2‐Oxoaldehydes: Synthesis of α,α‐Bis(indol‐3‐yl) Ketones

Abstract: A convenient procedure for accessing α,α‐bis(indol‐3‐yl) ketones from indoles and α‐oxoaldehydes is described using an inexpensive and commercially available catalyst such as p‐toluenesulfonic acid monohydrate. This protocol allows for the first time the synthesis of 2,2‐bis(indolyl)‐1‐alkylethanones by employing aliphatic 2‐oxoaldehydes, even as aqueous solutions. The high‐yielded obtained ketones have been shown as useful starting materials for further synthetic transformations.

“…In 2020, Sanz et al presented an approach combining gold and molybdenum catalysis . On the basis of previous works on similar substrates, , the nitro-functionalized alkynol 134 bearing two indole substituents was successfully converted into indolocarbazole 135 (Scheme ). In the first step, 5 mol % of NaAuCl 4 was used.…”

“…To start our investigations, we selected 3,3-bis­(indolyl)­methane derivative 1a as model substrate. For its preparation we took advantage of our previously reported efficient synthesis of α,α-bis­(indol-3-yl) ketones from commercially available indoles and 2-oxoaldehydes under Brønsted acid catalysis . Their reactions with lithium or magnesium acetylides afford the corresponding alkynols 1 used in this work .…”

“…Arylglyoxals are widely used in syntheses of heterocycles as syntones. [1][2][3][4][5][6] But the study of the arylglyoxals interaction with N-hydroxyurea [7][8][9] and its derivatives 8,10 has started recently and needs to be continued.…”
