Copper-Catalyzed Selective Oxidative Cross-Coupling of Tryptophols and Tryptamines To Access Heterocyclic 3a,3a′-Bisindolines

Wei Wang et al.

Summary: The first example of cyclization cross-coupling of tryptophols and tryptamines has been achieved by copper catalysis, resulting in the direct construction of a new class of heterocyclic 3a,3a'-bisindolines. Mechanistic control experiments revealed that the copper catalyst selectively coordinates with the nitrogen moiety of the tryptamine, initiating the oxidation, and a nucleophilic-alkylation process is proposed for the carbon-carbon bond formation.

Water enables the tunable electrochemical synthesis of heterocyclic 3a-or 5a-bromoindolines

Ying-Ai Wu et al.

Summary: In this study, a water-mediated electrochemical synthesis method was developed for the C3/C5-bromocyclization of tryptophol and tryptamine derivatives. By controlling the amount of water, the selective synthesis of 3a- or 5a-bromoindolines was achieved without the need for additional oxidants or additives.

Advances in Catalytic Asymmetric Dearomatization

Chao Zheng et al.

Summary: Catalytic asymmetric dearomatization is an emerging research subject that has attracted considerable attention for its direct transformation of aromatic feedstocks into structurally diverse polycyclic molecules. However, the inherent difficulty and high energy input required for dearomatization may be incompatible with the general conditions needed for asymmetric catalysis, presenting obstacles that need to be overcome for advancing chemical sciences.

Copper-catalyzed aerobic oxidative radical alkoxycyclization of tryptamines to access 3-alkoxypyrroloindolines

Wei Wang et al.

Summary: A copper-catalyzed alkoxycyclization of tryptamine derivatives with O-2 as the oxidant has been developed, providing a variety of C3a-alkoxypyrroloindolines in good yields with high diastereoselectivities. The reaction involves a double catalytic cycle with copper-catalyzed carboamination cyclization followed by a copper-catalyzed radical alkoxylation reaction.

Catalytic asymmetric preparation of pyrroloindolines: strategies and applications to total synthesis

Guang-Jian Mei et al.

Summary: Pyrroloindolines are important polycyclic indoline motifs widely found in natural products and bio-significant molecules, presenting a challenge to organic chemists with their rigid tricyclic molecular architectures and fully substituted carbon center at the C3a-position. Alkaloids containing pyrroloindoline display promising activities, making them significant in biological sciences and drug development. In recent decades, the synthetic targets of pyrroloindoline and analogues have attracted tremendous attention from the synthetic community, with a focus on catalytic asymmetric synthesis and total synthesis applications.
