Nonreductive Desulfenylation of 3-Indolyl Sulfides. Improved Syntheses of 2-Substituted Indoles and 2-Indolyl Sulfides
摘要:
Desulfenylation of 3-indolyl sulfides to the corresponding 3-unsubstituted indoles is usually carried out under reductive conditions, thus accommodating only substituents which are resistant to reduction. We have developed a nonreductive procedure for removal of a sulfide at the 3-position of indoles, using trifluoroacetic acid in the presence of a thiol as trapping agent, which is compatible with a large array of functionalities on the indole ring. In addition, the desulfenylation occurs selectively at the 3-position of the indole, and sulfide groups at other positions of the molecule remain untouched. Thus, indole 2,3-bis-sulfides are selectively desulfenylated at the 3-position, affording 3-unsubstituted 2-indolyl sulfides. This methodology broadens the use of sulfide as a protecting group for the 3-position of indoles.

A novel and efficient method for synthesis of 2-sulfenylindole via copper-catalyzedcoupling reaction of indoline-2-thiones with aryliodides has been developed. A series of N-substituted and N-free 2-sulfenylindole were obtained in high yields. Furthermore, the method was employed to synthesis of benzothieno[2,3-b]indoles from indoline-2-thiones with 1,2-diiodobenzene in the presence of CuI and Pd(OAc)2
通过铜催化的吲哚-2-硫酮与芳基碘的偶联反应合成2-亚磺酰基吲哚的新方法已经得到了发展。以高收率获得了一系列的N-取代的和不含N的2-亚磺酰基吲哚。此外,该方法用于在CuI和Pd(OAc)2作为催化剂存在下,由吲哚啉-2-硫酮与1,2-二碘代苯合成苯并噻吩并[2,3- b ]吲哚。
