چکیده
Transformation of 1-t-Boc-4-methoxyindole-3-glucosinolate under acidic conditions yielded the potent phytoalexin rapalexin A, providing its first biomimetic synthesis via Lossen type rearrangement, while a novel 1-thioimidocarbonyl-β-d-glucopyranose heterocyclic system was obtained under basic conditions via Neber type rearrangement.

1,3-Dibromo-5,5-dimethylhydantoin: a versatile catalyst for synthesis of 3,3-bis(indolyl)oxindoles
A condensation of various isatins with indole derivatives has been carried out in the presence of 1,3-dibromo-5,5-dimethylhydantoin (DBDMH) as catalyst at 50 °C in ethanol in order to form 3,3-bis(indolyl) oxindoles. The products were obtained within 20-90 min by 70-96% yields. The efficacy of the procedure has been confirmed by catalyzing the condensation reaction of pyrrole which was used as ...
متن کاملDisease resistance of Arabidopsis to Phytophthora brassicae is established by the sequential action of indole glucosinolates and camalexin.
We have analysed the role of tryptophan-derived secondary metabolites in disease resistance of Arabidopsis to the oomycete pathogen Phytophthora brassicae. Transcript analysis revealed that genes encoding enzymes involved in tryptophan, camalexin and indole glucosinolate (iGS) biosynthesis are coordinately induced in response to P. brassicae. However, a deficiency in either camalexin or iGS acc...
متن کاملTransition-metal-free synthesis of indole-fused dibenzo[b,f][1,4]oxazepines via Smiles rearrangement.
A one-pot transition-metal-free approach for the synthesis of indole-fused dibenzo[b,f][1,4]oxazepines from 2-(1H-indol-2-yl)phenol and 1,2-dihalobenzenes or 2 halonitroarenes has been developed. The proposed mechanism for this transformation features a Smiles rearrangement favoured over a direct intramolecular nucleophilic cyclization, which affords the corresponding products in different regi...
متن کاملReaction sampling and reactivity prediction using the stochastic surface walking method.
The prediction of chemical reactivity and thus the design of new reaction systems are the key challenges in chemistry. Here, we develop an unbiased general-purpose reaction sampling method, the stochastic surface walking based reaction sampling (SSW-RS) method, and show that the new method is a promising solution for reactivity prediction of complex reaction systems. The SSW-RS method is capabl...
متن کاملIndole-3-acetonitrile production from indole glucosinolates deters oviposition by Pieris rapae.
Like many crucifer-specialist herbivores, Pieris rapae uses the presence of glucosinolates as a signal for oviposition and larval feeding. Arabidopsis thaliana glucosinolate-related mutants provide a unique resource for studying the in vivo role of these compounds in affecting P. rapae oviposition. Low indole glucosinolate cyp79B2 cyp79B3 mutants received fewer eggs than wild type, confirming p...
