Regiocontrolled Annellation Reactions Starting from Diethoxymethyl Protected Indole

Abstract: Directed metallation of the diethoxymethyl protected indole 4 followed by treatment with b-nitrostyrene leads to the 1,2-disubstituted indole 5. Using 5 as a central intermediate, the tricyclic annellation products of type 2 and 3 were accessed when the regiochemical outcome of the reactions could be controlled.The selection of protecting groups preventing or modifying functional group transformations during a reaction sequence is crucial to the success of chemical syntheses. 1 Our interest was directed to the… Show more

“…The Pictet-Spengler reaction was also used for the production of a structural analog of the alkaloid catharanthine containing a γ-carboline skeleton, which belongs to the ibogaine group [91] By using a diethoxymethyl group as protecting group for the indole nitrogen atom it is possible to realize regioselective metallation at position 2 with subsequent annelation of the piperideine ring with nitrostyrene. In this case the diethoxymethyl group also plays the role of a one-carbon building block, taking part in the formation both of tetrahydro-γ-carboline and of the isomeric tetrahydropyrimido[1,6-a]indole, which can also serve as precursor for the production of tetrahydro-γ-carboline according to the following scheme [92] A synthetic equivalent of the carbonyl compound for the Pictet-Spengler condensation can be not only an acetal fragment at the nitrogen atom of indole (as in the previous example) but also an aminal fragment in the side chain. Here, however, the yield of the bridged γ-carboline derivative 32 is low on account of the chemoselective transformation of the respective bicyclic aminal [93].…”

“…[35a±c] Amines attached to a benzylic carbon atom with the ability to stabilize a cation can be released under acidic conditions. Several such linkers possessing ortho-and para-alkoxy substituents, the Rink amide linker being one example, have been developed ( [36a] The acetal-derived linker in entry 7 of Table 8 has been applied to the release of indoles; [37] cleavage is effected in excellent yield and purity by hydrolysis and subsequent treatment with 2 n NaOH. A resin based on a tetrahydropyranyl (THP) protecting group for the linkage of substrates through an aminal (Table 8, entry 8) [38] is base stable and cleaved with weak acid.…”

“…20 Encouragingly, when the reaction conditions were explored, the use of DMSO as the solvent instead of THF and the absence of a transmetallation step was found to improve the formation of the aminal product 6 to 78% yield. 21 With this modified protocol, different indoles all formed their respective aminal products 29 – 33 .…”
