Light-mediated coupling of acylsilanes with indoles is reported. This photo click reaction occurs under mild conditions (415 nm) mostly in quantitative yield and provides stable silylated N,O-acetals via light mediated siloxycarbene generation subsequent indole-N-H insertion. We show that this very efficient fully atom economic process can be applied to conjugate complex systems, as documented ...

The title compound, C(12)H(13)NO(4), was prepared as a precursor to an indole derivative with possible anti-mitotic properties. The mol-ecule is very nearly planar; the maximum deviation of any non-H atom from the mean plane of the indole ring is 0.120 (3) Å for each of two meth-oxy C atoms. The pairs of mol-ecules related by the inversion centre at (0,0,) are connected by two symmetry-equivale...

2,3,5-Trisubstituted indoles are synthesized in three steps starting from resin-bound aniline 2. R1 is introduced by a palladium-mediated coupling of the aryl iodide with terminal alkynes followed by intramolecular cyclization to form the indole core. Acylation at C-3 with an acid chloride in the presence of AlCl(3) catalyst introduces R2. The indole C-5 position is then diversified either by S...

The addition of an allenyl indium intermediate to chiral N-tert-butanesulfinyl imines 7 proceeds with high levels of diastereocontrol. The resulting homopropargylic amine derivatives 10 were transformed into 2-(2-aminoalkyl)benzofuran and indole derivatives 13 and 19, after Sonogashira coupling with o-iodophenol or o-iodoaniline, followed by formation of the heteroaromatic ring through an intra...

A series of novel N-benzyl substituted amides of 1H-indole-5-carboxylic acid were synthesized and evaluated for their ability to inhibit acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and butyrylcholinesterase (BuChE). The target compounds (6b-6e) displayed moderate potency to inhibit BuChE. One of the compounds tested, i.e., 1-benzylpiperidine amide of 1H-indole-5-carboxylic acid (6a) was a weak, non-selective i...

We describe the syntheses and crystal structures of two indole derivatives, namely a second monoclinic polymorph of ethyl 5-chloro-1H-indole-2-carboxyl-ate C11H10ClNO2, (I), and ethyl 5-chloro-3-iodo-1H-indole-2-carboxyl-ate, C11H9ClINO2, (II). In their crystal structures, both compounds form inversion dimers linked by pairs of N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, which generate R 2 (2)(10) loops. The dimers ...

The title compound, C(28)H(28)N(2)O, was prepared by condensation of 1,2-bimethyl-indole and 4-methoxy-benzaldehyde. In the mol-ecular structure, the plane of the non-fused benzene ring is twisted with respect to the planes of the two indole ring systems, exhibiting dihedral angles of 72.04 (7) and 72.24 (7)°, while the planes of the two indole ring systems are oriented at a dihedral angle of 8...

In the title compound, C(20)H(18)N(2)O(3), the C=C bond of the acrylonitrile group that links the indole and the 3,4,5-trimeth-oxy-phenyl rings has Z geometry, with dihedral angles between the plane of the acrylonitrile unit and the planes of the benzene and indole ring systems of 21.96 (5) and 38.94 (7)°, respectively. The acrylonitrile group is planar (r.m.s. deviation from planarity = 0.037 ...

In the title compound, C22H14ClN3O2, the indole unit is essentially coplanar, with a maximum deviation of 0.035 Å for the C atom bearing the methyl group. The central pyridine ring is inclined to the indole ring system by 43.7 (1)°. The dihedral angle between the phenyl ring and the indole ring system is 15.7 (2)°, while that between the phenyl ring and the central pyridine ring is 46.3 (1)°. T...
