The novel indoline scaffold was synthesized using transition metal catalysis and environmentally friendly oxidant O-2/air. Different from traditional methods, a copper-catalyzed oxidative reaction was developed and demonstrated for the synthesis of various natural products.
The first transition metal catalytic one-step synthesis of the 3a, 3a'-bispyrrolidino [2,3-b] indoline scaffold via tandem cyclization/dimerization of tryptamines has been realized with the environmentally friendly O-2/air as the sole oxidant. Different from the traditional direct oxidation of indole N-H group by excess amount of metal salts, a copper-catalyzed oxidative cyclization reaction is developed for the formation of the radical pyrrolidinoindoline intermediate in the current strategy. The robustness and practicality of this methodology is demonstrated by the step-economic, divergent total synthesis of natural products (+/-)-folicanthine and meso-folicanthine.
