A versatile synthetic methodology for the synthesis of tryptophols
摘要:
Tryptophols have been obtained in high yields by the reduction of 3-substituted-dioxindoles (obtained by the aldol condensation reaction of ketones with isatins or by a modified Knovenagel malonate condensation) using a borane tetrahydrofuran complex. The reported methodology offers distinct advantages over existing methods for the synthesis of these compounds, including consistently greater yields, diastereoselective syntheses and the possibility for the synthesis of a wide range of structurally different tryptophols. The reduction reaction was found to proceed via an intermediate 1,3-diol-oxindole, which was obtained diastereoselectively and, which was subsequently reduced to the corresponding tryptophol.

(±)-Convolutamydine A (5) has been prepared by a concise synthesis form 3,5-dibromoaniline using a modified Sandmeyer methodology. The modified Sandmeyer methodology has also been found to be beneficial for the synthesis of other α-isonitrosoacetanilides. The 4,6-dibromohydrocyoxindole nucleus was further confirmed by comparison with the isomeric 5,7-dibromohydroxyoxindole.
different nitrogen-doped carbondots (NCDS) are investigated for the functionalization of carbonyl compounds. The surface amines of all the NCDs were comprehensively characterized, allowing a correlation between the structural features of the nanoparticles and their catalytic performances. The most active nano-aminocatalyst was used to drive organic reactions in aqueousmedia.
Carbon nanodots stand as the missing link between the molecular and the nanoscale world, owing to the unique molecular-like behavior emerging from their synthetic precursors. A converging set of analytical and spectroscopic data yields a precise inventory of the surface reactive groups of amine-rich carbon dots (NCDs-1). As a result, NCDs-1 provide a multi-functional nano-platform that is able to covalently activate carbonyl groups, form iminium-ions and enamine intermediates, and efficiently promote diverse aminocatalytic transformations in water. Remarkably, the catalytic activity of carbon dots can also govern the stereoselectivity in the bond-forming event. Indeed, the use of chiral carbon dots (NCDs-7) as catalysts affords the final aldol products with significant enantiomeric excess. The successful implementation of carbon nanostructures into chemical roles so far restricted to molecular systems opens new avenues for advanced applications where the nanoscale and the molecular realms will merge and complement each other.
