Enantioselective Synthesis of Triarylmethanes by Chiral Imidodiphosphoric Acids Catalyzed Friedel–Crafts Reactions
摘要:
The first enantioselective synthesis of pyrrolyl-substituted triarylmethanes has been accomplished using a novel imidodiphosphoric acid catalyst, which is derived from two (R)BINOL frameworks with different 3,3'-substituents. This strategy was also expanded to the synthesis of bis(indolyl)-substituted triarylmethanes with high enantioselectivities, which could only be obtained with moderate ee values in previous reports. These two efficient Friedel-Crafts alkylation processes feature low catalyst loading, broad functional group compatibilities, and the potential to provide practical pathways for the synthesis of enantioenriched bioactive triarylmethanes.
Cesium carbonate mediated synthesis of 3-(α-hydroxyaryl)indoles
摘要:
A series of 3-(alpha-hydroxyaryl)indoles have been synthesized by the reaction of aromatic aldehydes with indoles, catalyzed by cesium carbonate in DMF medium. The reactivity of the various alkali metal carbonates is discussed. The stability of 3-(alpha-hydroxyaryl)indoles is also discussed. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
