Synthesis of 1-(1-Arylsulfanylalkyl)indoles and 2,2-Bis[1-(1-arylsulfanylalkyl)indol-3-yl]propanes by Acid-Catalyzed Reactions of Indoles with Aryl Vinyl Sulfides
摘要:
We report a facile synthesis of 1-(1-arylsulfanylalkyl)indoles and 2,2-bis[1-(1-arylsulfanylalkyl)indol-3-yl]propanes under mild conditions. Thus, treatment of 3-substituted indoles with aryl vinyl sulfides in dichloromethane at room temperature in the presence of a catalytic amount of (+/-)-camphor-10-sulfonic acid yields the former indole derivatives in moderate to fair yields. 3-Nonsubstituted indoles can be transformed into the latter indole derivatives in satisfactory yields on treatment with excess aryl vinyl sulfides in the presence of a catalytic amount of the acid under similar conditions.

[Structure: see text] Palladium-catalyzedarylation of sulfenate anions generated from beta-sulfinyl esters can take place under biphasic conditions. This hitherto unknown reaction provides a simple, mild, and efficient route to aryl sulfoxides in good yields. The development of a new pseudo-domino type I procedure involving a sulfinylation followed by a Mirozoki-Heck coupling is also described.
The first desymmetrizations of prochiraldiarylsulfoxides 1 by an asymmetricsulfoxide–magnesiumexchange reaction are reported. The respective substrate (1), iPr2Mg, and the dilithium salt of (S)‐BINOL (which was prepared in situ) provided (S)‐configured aryl isopropyl sulfoxides 2 in up to 91 % yield and with up to 91 % ee. (S)‐BINOL was re‐isolable in 98 % yield.
Enantioselective inclusion of chiral alkyl aryl sulfoxides in a supramolecular helical channel consisting of an enantiopure 1,2-amino alcohol and an achiral carboxylic acid
The enantio selective clathrate formation of alkyl aryl sulfoxides 4 was achieved with dissymmetric one-dimensional helical channels created in two-component hosts consisting of (1R,2S)-2-amino-1,2-diphenylethanol 1 and an achiral carboxylic acid, p-tert-butylbenzoic acid 2, or 2-anthraquinonecarboxylic acid 3. X-ray crystallographic analyses showed that the host framework (1R,2S)-1.3 in the single crystal of a clathrate with methyl p-methylphenyl sulfoxide 4n [(1R,2S)-1.3.4n (single)] maintained a supramolecular helical array as those of the solvent-included single crystals (1R,2S)-1.3-EtOH(single) and (1R,2S)-1-3-H2O.THF(single), while the guest 4n molecules were highly disordered. Moreover, the X-ray powder diffraction pattern of (1R,2S)-1-3-4n(clathrate) obtained through the clathrate formation demonstrated that the molecular arrangements of (1R,2S)-1, 3, and 4n were not the same as those which appeared in (1R,2S)-1.3.4n(single); the channel was enlarged. These results are consistently explained by assuming the dynamic motion of the framework (1R,2S)-1-3 to achieve widely applicable clathrate formation. (c) 2007 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
