Totalsyntheses of the monoterpenoid indole alkaloids (±)‐alstoscholarisine B and C were accomplished starting from a readily available indole‐2‐acetic ester and an α,β‐unsaturated N‐sulfonyllactam.
Alstoscholarisines H–J (1–3), new monoterpenoid indole alkaloids with an unprecedented skeleton created via the formation of a C-3/N-1 bond, were isolated from Alstonia scholaris. Their structures were established by extensive spectroscopic analyses and the assessment of single-crystal X-ray diffraction data. The totalsynthesis of alstoscholarisine H was achieved via the regioselective nucleophilic addition
An expedient enantioselective synthesis of highly substituted hydrocarbazoles has been realized by an organocatalyzed formal [3 + 3] cycloaddition between acrolein and 2,3-disubstituted indoles. Tricyclic hydrocarbazoles were obtained from a broad range of 2,3-disubstituted indoles and acrolein in good to excellent yields and excellent enantioselectivites.

1-(2-Aminoaryl)-2-yn-1-ols, easily obtained by the Grignard reaction between 1-(2-aminoaryl)ketones and alkynylmagnesium bromides, were subjected to carbonylative conditions in the presence of the PdI2-KI catalytic system, in the presence and in the absence of an external oxidant. Under oxidative conditions (80 arm of a 4:1 mixture of CO-air, in MeOH as the solvent at 100 degrees C and in the presence of 2 mol % of PdI2 and 20 mol % of KI), 1-(2-aminoaryl)-2-yn-1-ols bearing a primary amino group were selectively converted into quinoline-3-carboxylic esters in fair to good yields [45-70%, based on starting 1-(2-aminoaryl)ketones], ensuing from 6-endo-dig cyclization followed by dehydration and oxidative methoxycarbonylation. On the other hand, indol-2-acetic esters, deriving from 5-exo-dig cyclization followed by dehydrating methoxycarbonylation, were selectively obtained in moderate to good yields [42-88%, based on starting 1-(2-aminoaryl)ketones] under nonoxidative conditions (90 arm of CO, in MeOH as the solvent at 100 degrees C and in the presence of 2 mol % of PdI2 and 20 mol % of KI), in the case of 1-(2-aminoaryl)-2-yn-1-ols bearing either a primary or secondary amino group and substituted with a bulky group on the triple bond.
Photochemical α-carboxyalkylation of tryptophols and tryptamines <i>via</i> C–H functionalization
strategy activated the C-Br bonds of α-bromo-alkylcarboxylic esters to provide carbon-centered radicals under the catalysis of Ir(iii) photocatalyst and coupled with indole derivatives. This methodology displayed wide functional group tolerance and excellent regioselectivity, and was applied to the late-stage functionalization and preparation of indole-containing hybrids.
