Nitro-substituted 3,3′-bis(indolyl)methane derivatives as anion receptors: Electron-withdrawing effect and tunability of anion binding properties
摘要:
A series of nitro-substituted 3,3'-bis-indolyl phenylmethane derivatives were synthesized and their anion binding properties were investigated in detail. The introduction of the electron-withdrawing nitro group into indole unit and/or meso-phenyl ring, which leads to the increased acidity of indole NH and meso-position CH proton, has a positive effect on anion binding. The nitro-substituted bis(indolyl)methane receptors exhibited selective colorimetric sensing of F- anion, as revealed by the notable color and spectral changes, rationally due to the deprotonation of the indole NH of the receptor. Meanwhile, the additive introduction of the nitro substituents on the meso-phenyl ring of bis(indolyl)methane can lead to the deprotonation of the meso-position CH and further induce an irreversible oxidation process obtaining bis(indolyl)methene product in the F- anion sensing system.

introduces a Pd(II)/LA-catalyzed (LA: Lewis acid) decarboxylative addition reaction for the synthesis of bis(indolyl)methanederivatives. The presence of Lewis acid such as Sc(OTf)3 triggered Pd(II)-catalyzed decarboxylative addition of propiolic acids with indoles to offer the bis(indolyl)methanederivatives in moderate to good yields, whereas neither Pd(II) nor Lewis acid alone was active for this synthesis

Gold-catalyzed hydroarylation of unactivated alkynes with indoles have previously been reported to proceed with double indole addition to produce symmetrical bis(indolyl)methanes (BIMs). We demonstrate for the first time that the selectivity of the gold-catalyzed reaction can be fully switched to allow for isolation of the vinylindole products instead. Furthermore, this selective reaction can be utilized to synthesize the more difficult to access unsymmetrical BIMs from readily available starting materials.
