The synthesis and biochemical evaluation of a series of spirofused indole oxazoline 5-HT3 antagonists is described in which the oxazoline ring acts as a bioisosteric replacement for esters and amides. The effect of substitution about the indole ring has shown the steric limitations of the aromatic binding site. Incorporation of a variety of azabicyclic systems within the rigid spirofused framework has allowed the definition of a binding model which incorporates a number of known antagonists and agonists. In this model steric constraints limit substitution around the indole ring although there is some bulk tolerance at the 1- and 2-positions. The importance of constraining the basic nitrogen within an azabicyclic system is underlined by comparison with the monocyclic piperidine. The highest affinity was observed for those compounds in which the basic nitrogen occupies a bridgehead position, the most potent analogue in this group being the azabicyclic [3.3.1] system (pIC50 = 8.95), suggesting lipophilic interactions may play a role in increasing affinity. A suggested model for agonist binding is included in which the basic nitrogens are superimposed and the 5-hydroxyl group of 5-HT is superimposed on the H-bond-accepting atom of the heterocyclic linking group.

A copper-mediated direct cyanation of indoles with benzyl cyanide as the cyanideanion surrogate has been achieved. The cascade reaction furnished 3-cyanoindoles under mild reaction conditions in good to excellent yields with various functional groups tolerance.
A combination of LiO‐tBu, CsF, and 18‐crown‐6 can be used to carboxylate indole derivatives at the C‐2 position under an ambient CO2 atmosphere. Substrates bearing an electrophilic substituent (i.e. CN, formyl, benzoyl, phenylsulfonyl, phenylsulfinyl, and chloride) at the C‐3 position are smoothly converted into their corresponding carboxylated products with high functional group compatibility.

for the synthesis of 3-cyanoindoles has been developed. The Cu/TEMPO/(Me3Si)2 system has been identified to promote highly efficient and selective C–H cyanation of indoles by use of unactivated acetonitrile as a cyano source via a sequential iodination/cyanation process in one pot. This reaction furnishes 3-cyanoindoles in moderate to good yields and tolerates a series of functional groups. Moreover
