Iridium-Catalyzed C–H Borylation-Based Synthesis of Natural Indolequinones
摘要:
An iridium-catalyzed C-H borylation provides the key step in a short synthesis of two indolequinone natural products. This regioselective C-H functionalization strategy delivers 7-borylindoles that undergo facile oxidation hydrolysis to 7-hydroyindoles and subsequent oxidation to the desired indolequinones, thereby demonstrating a powerful application of the iridium-catalyzed C H borylation reaction. A significant result has arisen from the iridium-catalyzed borylation of N-diethylhydrosilyl-6-methoxyindole; even in the presence of a substituent at C6, the N-hydrosilyl group still directs borylation exclusively into the more sterically hindered C7 position in preference to C2.
Iridium-Catalyzed, Silyl-Directed Borylation of Nitrogen-Containing Heterocycles
摘要:
Selective methods for the functionalization of indoles and other nitrogen heterocycles would provide access to the core structures of many natural products and pharmaceuticals. Although there are many methods and strategies for the synthesis of substituted indoles or functionalization of the azole ring, strategies for the selective functionalization of the benzo-fused portion of the indole skeleton, particularly the 7-position, are less common. We report a one-pot, iridium-catalyzed, silyl-directed C-H borylation of indoles at the 7-position. This process occurs in high yield with a variety of substituted indoles, and conversions of the 7-borylindole products to 7-aryl-, 7-cinnamyl-, and 7-haloindoles are demonstrated. The Ir-catalyzed, silyl-directed C-H borylation also occurs with several other nitrogen heterocycles, including carbazole, phenothiazines, and tetrahydroquinoline. The utility of this methodology is highlighted by the one-pot synthesis of a member of the pyrrolophenanthridone class of alkaloid natural products.

and 3 respectively, have been prepared in a convergent manner by two relatedroutes. The superior one involves C–H functionalization of the relevant 5-methoxyindole at C-7 using Hartwig’s protocol and thus forming the corresponding borolated indole that could be coupled with the requisite 2-bromobenzoate to deliver the title naturalproducts.
