Preparation and Study of Tautomers Derived from 2-(2‘-Pyridyl)indole and Related Compounds
摘要:
Methylation of 2-(2'-pyridyl)indole provides the corresponding N-methylated salt that undergoes deprotonation with mild base to provide the tautomeric (E)-1-methyl-2-(2'-indolenylidene)-1,2-dihydropyridine, whose geometry is established through a NOE experiment. Bridging at the 3,3'-positions leads to tautomers having the opposite stereochemistry. A benzo-fused analogue exhibits similar behavior as does 2-(2'-quinolinyl)pyrrole. The importance of the connectivity to pyridine is examined by considering three possible regioisomers, only two of which show tautomeric behavior. The tautomers show strong solvatochromic dependence and good linear behavior. The indoles absorb at shorter wavelengths and are strongly emitting while the tautomers show a strong bathochromic shift and emit only weakly; the salts exhibit intermediate behavior. NMR properties are consistent with contributions from a dipolar and uncharged resonance form while MO calculations indicate that the indole is about 40 kcal/mol more stable than its tautomer.

substituted (2-aminobenzyl)triphenylphosphonium bromides with aromatic aldehydes or α,β-unsaturated aldehydes constitutes a new synthesis of 2,3-disubstitued indoles in high yields. The adduct from 4-oxo-3,4-dihydroquinazoline-2-carbaldehyde was an advanced intermediate in the synthesis of several rutaecarpines.
metal-catalyzed C–Hborylation has been one of the most notable advances in synthetic chemistry and has been widely employed in the preparation of organoboron reagents. Due to economic and heavy-metal-residue concerns, there is significant interest in the development of metal-free processes to mimic metallic systems. Here, we disclose a highly efficient metal-free approach for the directedC–Hborylation of C3-substituted

A series of ligands are prepared that are analogues of benzo-fused derivatives of 2,2'-bipyridine (bpy), in which pyrrole has been substituted for a pyridine ring. These ligands include 2-(2'-pyridyl)-indole, 2-(2'-pyrrolyl)-quinoline, and pyrrolo[3,2-h]quinoline. A novel reductive cyclization approach to the latter species is presented. All these ligands react with [Ru(bpy-d(8))(2)Cl-2], undergoing cyclometalation with concurrent deprotonation, to form complexes of the type [Ru(L)(bpy-d(8))(2)](+) where L binds as a monoanionic ligand. The complexes are readily characterized by their H-1 NMR spectra. Changes in the odor potentials and the electronic absorption spectra of both the ligands and the complexes are interpreted in terms of charge delocalization on the ligand.
