The Chemistry of 1-Hydroxyindole Derivatives: Nucleophilic Substitution Reactions on Indole Nucleus
摘要:
Nucleophilic substitution reactions were newly found to occur generally in the chemistry of 1-hydroxyindole derivatives. Its application to the synthesis of a phytoalexin, brassicanal A, is reported.
Simple Syntheses of Lespedamine and 5-Bromo-N,N-dimethyltryptamine Based on 1-Hydroxyindole Chemistry
摘要:
Various types of 1-hydroxyindoles were prepared for the first time. Through methylation or acid catalyzed nucleophilic bromination of N,N-dimethyl-1-hydroxytryptamine, simple syntheses of lespedamine and 5-bromo-N,N-dimethyltryptamine were achieved, respectively.
1-Hydroxytryptamine derivatives undergo nucleophilic substitution reaction on the indolenitrogen (Na) as a general reaction by the treatment with acid, providing a novel synthetic method for 1-aryltryptamines. Depending on the structures of nucleophiles, 5- and 7-substituted tryptamines can also be produced in addition to the 1-aryltryptamines.
Nucleophilic Substitution Reactions on Indole Nucleus: Formation of (3a,8a-cis)-1,2,3,3a,8,8a-Hexahydropyrrolo[2,3-b]indoles Having a Substituent at the 3a-Position
ictly determined. INTRODUCTION We have opened the door to the chemistry of 1-hydro xyindole and 1-hydroxytryptophan derivatives, 3 and demonstrated that these compounds generally undergo nucleophilicsubstitutionreaction, 4 which was thus far rarely observed in indole chemistry. 4 In our 1-hydroxyindole hypothesis, 5 we assume the 1-hydroxy group of the general formu la (A) in Scheme 1 departs, after
Nucleophilic Substitution Reaction on the Nitrogen of Indole Nucleus: Formation of 1-(Indol-3-yl)indoles upon Reaction of 1-Hydroxyindoles with Indole in Formic Acid
1-(Indol-3-yl)indoles are obtained in excellent to good yields by the reaction of 1-hydroxyindoles with indole in 85% formic acid. Their structures are determined by X-Ray crystallographic analysis and chemical correlations. The unprecidented SN2 mechanism on the indole nitrogen is proposed.
Reactions of 1-Hydroxyindoles with p-Toluenesulfonyl Chloride and p-Toluenesulfonic Acid
1-Hydroxyindoles produced novel types of compounds such as 4-substituted indoles and 4H-1, 3-dioxolo[4,5-b]indoles upon reaction with p-toluenesulfonyl chloride in acetone. Contrastively, 5-tosyloxyindole and 2H-1,2-oxazino[2, 3-a]indole were generated upon reaction with p-toluenesulfonic acid in acetone.
