Regioselective Fischer indole synthesis mediated by organoaluminum amides
摘要:
Amphiphilic reagents such as organoaluminum amides are found to be highly effective for the Fischer indole synthesis. In particular, diethylaluminum 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidide (DATMP) is the reagent of choice for regioselective Fischer indole synthesis. For example, treatment of the (E)-N-methyl-N-phenylhydrazone of 5-methyl-3-heptanone with DATMP affords 3-sec-butyl-2-ethyl-1-methylindole as the sole isolable product; its Z-isomer affords 1,3-dimethyl-2-(2-methylbutyl)indole with high regioselectivity under similar reaction conditions.

The first practical and economical process for synthesis of 2,3-disubstituted indole compounds has been developed with high regioselectivity by palladium-catalyzed indolization of 2-bromo- or chloroanilines and their derivatives with internal alkynes.
