N‐allylindoles by a one‐pot Ir‐catalyzed asymmetric allylicalkylation/oxidation reaction of indolines has been realized. The current method features high regioselectivity and enantioselectivity together with a broad range of indoles with varying electronic properties. The utility of this method was demonstrated by the synthesis of dihydropyrrolo[1,2‐a]indole derivatives.
有两个步骤可能比一个步骤更好:通过一锅Ir催化的二氢吲哚的不对称烯丙基烷基化/氧化反应,可以有效地合成对映体富集的N-烯丙基。目前的方法具有很高的区域选择性和对映选择性,以及范围广泛的具有不同电子特性的吲哚。通过合成二氢吡咯并[1,2- a ]吲哚衍生物证明了该方法的实用性。
A novel and convenient route for the construction of 5-((1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)methyl)-1H-indoles and its application in the synthesis of Rizatriptan
In this study, a novel and convenient route for the construction of 5-((1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)methyl)-1H-indoles (8) is presented starting from (1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)methanol (5) and indolines (6) under 98% H2SO4 at room temperature for 4-24 h, followed by deacetylation and dehydrogenation. Based on this finding, a novel route to synthesize Rizatriptan starting from tryptamine was designed and accomplished with 48.5% overall yield in 6 steps. Compared with operational art, the new route afforded higher yield and more pure products requiring no chromatographic purification, which may further be applied in industrialization.

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.

Several dihydro and carbocyclic analogues of tryptamine were evaluated in order to determine the role of the heterocyclic portion of the indole nucleus on the interaction of indolealkylamines with the serotonin receptors of the rat fundus. Reduction of the C2--C3 double bond or replacement of the indole nitrogen with an sp3-hybridized carbon atom results in a 50% decrease in receptor affinity. Complete removal of the five-membered ring of N,N-dimethyltryptamine reduces affinity by an order of magnitude. It appears that an intact indole nucleus, though not entirely necessary, results in an optimal receptor interaction for the indolealkylamines examined.
