Enantioselective inhibition of reverse transcriptase (RT) of HIV-1 by non-racemic indole-based trifluoropropanoates developed by asymmetric catalysis using recyclable organocatalysts
Herein, we report the development of efficient inhibitors of reverse transcriptase (RT) of HIV-1 based on indole-alkyl trifluoropyruvate derivatives by a TZM-bl cell assay. The inhibitory activities of the two enantiomers and the corresponding racemic mixture have been compared. TZM-bl cells exhibited strong enantioselective discrimination for the (R)-configuration, among these indole derivatives, the most active compound R-12, with a 5-NO2 substituent, gave the best result when tested in the TZM-bl cells on HIV virus type HIV-1IIIB, with an EC50 value of 0.019 μM, CC50 value of 210.697 μM and SI (selectivity index, CC50/EC50) value of 11 089, respectively. The cell test showed that, in most cases, the R-enantiomer was superior to the Rac-mixture, which was better than the corresponding S-enantiomer. The results indicated that the R-enantiomer is the most favorable configuration as an efficient HIV-1 inhibitor. Molecular modeling studies suggested a structural basis for the enantioselectivity of RT towards this class of molecules.

A mild and efficient catalyst system for asymmetric Friedel-Crafts alkylation of indoles with trifluoropyruvates was reported. The chiral ligands took the advantages of both the proline and the binaphthyl moieties, and the in situ prepared Cu(II) catalyst showed good substrate tolerance in the reactions. Indoles bearing different substituents could be tolerated, and the desired products could be obtained

The highly enantioselective Friedel-Crafts reaction of indoles with trifluoropyruvate catalyzed by a C-3-symmetric cinchonine-squaramide is reported. A wide variety of trifluoromethylated indole derivatives were obtained in high yields and with excellent enantioselectivities (99% and up to > 99% ee). Moreover the C-3 catalyst can be easily recovered and was used five times. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
Enantioselective Friedel-Crafts Alkylation of Indoles, Pyrroles, and Furans with Trifluoropyruvate Catalyzed by Chiral Phosphoric Acid
Indoles, and pyrroles, and furans, oh my! Chiral phosphoric acidcatalyzed Friedel–Crafts alkylation of indoles with 3,3,3‐trifluoropyruvate gave the corresponding adducts in excellent yields with high enantioselectivities. Electron‐deficient indoles, in particular, exhibited excellent enantioselectivities.
