functionalized N-amino-3-nitrile-indole derivatives are obtained via an intramolecular hetero-cyclization of 2-aryl-3-substituted hydrazono-alkylnitriles using FeBr3 as a single electron oxidant. This approach allows the N-moiety on the side-chain to be annulated to the benzene ring during the final synthetic step via direct oxidative aromatic C–N bond formation.
were prepared fromβ-ketonitriles via a three-step protocol including the protection of the ketones with methoxyamine, oxidative decyanation, and microwave-assisted deprotection in the final step. This approach provides a novel and efficient access to a wide scope of symmetric and unsymmetric 1,2-diketones using molecular oxygen as the oxidant in the decyanation process. β-ketonitriles - oxygen - oxidative

A variety of N- arylated and N- alkylated indole derivatives were synthesized by way of a phenyliodine bis( trifluoroacetate) ( PIFA)- mediated intramolecular cyclization. This novel method allows for the construction of an indole skeleton by joining the N- atom on the side chain to the benzene ring at the last synthetic step. Other novel pyrrole- fused aromatic compounds can also be achieved by this method.

In order to identify structural features of pyrimethamine (5-(4-chlorophenyl)-6-ethylpyrimidine-2,4-diamine) that contribute to its inhibitory activity (IC50 value) and chaperoning efficacy toward beta-N-acetylhexosaminidase, derivatives of the compound were synthesized that differ at the positions bearing the amino, ethyl, and chloro groups. Whereas the amino groups proved to be critical to its inhibitory activity, a variety of substitutions at the chloro position only increased its IC50 by 2-3-fold. Replacing the ethyl group at the 6-position with butyl or methyl groups increased IC50 more than 10-fold. Surprisingly, despite its higher IC50, a derivative lacking the chlorine atom in the para-position was found to enhance enzyme activity in live patient cells a further 25% at concentrations >100 mu M, while showing less toxicity. These findings demonstrate the importance of the phenyl group in modulating the chaperoning efficacy and toxicity profile of the derivatives.
