PtCl2 effectively catalyzes the multistep reaction of N-methyl indole (1 a) with pent-3-yn-1-ol (2 a) in THF at room temperature for 2 h to give indole derivative 3 a, which contains a five-membered cyclic ether group at C3 in 93% yield. Under similar reaction conditions, various substituted N-methyl indoles 1 b-h and indole (1 i) reacted efficiently with 2 a to afford the corresponding indole ...

A small series of indol-3-yl-oxoacetamides was synthesized starting from the literature known N-(adamantan-1-yl)-2-(5-(furan-2-yl)-1-pentyl-1H-indol-3-yl)-2-oxoacetamide (5) by substituting the 1-pentyl-1H-indole subunit. Our preliminary biological evaluation showed that the fluorinated derivative 8 is a potent and selective CB₂ ligand with Ki = 6.2 nM.

The reactions of 2- or 4-cyanopyridinium salts with active methylene compounds such as dimethyl malonate, malononitrile, and cyclohexane-1,3-dione affording 2- or 4-(substituted methylene) pyridines are described. Similar reactions of 4-cyano-2-methylthiopyridinium and 4-cyano-2-methylthioquinolinium salts, both of which have two leaving groups, were readily prepared from 4-cyano-1-methyl-2(1H)...

The study examined corrosion inhibition of corrosion inhibition of 5-methyl-2H-imidazol-4-carboxaldehyde and 1H-Indole-3-carboxaldehyde on mild steel in acidic medium using weight loss and Density Functional Theory (DFT) methods. DFT calculations were carried out at B3LYP/6-31+G** level of theory in aqueous medium on the molecular structures to describe electronic parameters. The values of ther...

Alkali metal reduction of tungsten tetrachloride in the presence of excess trimethylphosphite and ethylene affords moderate yields of trans-tetrakis(trimethylphosphite)tungsten bis(ethylene). This easily prepared species bearing inexpensive ancillary ligands promotes the oxidative coupling of carbon dioxide and ethylene at ambient temperature to produce two isomeric tetrakis(trimethylphosphite)...

The synthesis of series of tripodal ligands: N,N-bis((3-carboxyethyl-5-dimethyl-1H-pyrazol-1yl)methyl)phenylamine L1, N,N-bis((3,5-dimethyl-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)methyl)phenylamine L2, N,N-bis((3carboxyethyl-5-dimethyl-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)methyl)pyridin-2-ylamine L3, N,N-bis((3,5-dimethyl-1H-pyrazol1-yl)methyl)pyridin-2-amine L4, N,N-bis((3-carboxyethyl-5-dimethyl-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)methyl)-2nitrophenylamin...

The title compound, C(16)H(13)N, is essentially planar [maximum deviation from the least-squares plane = 0.081 (3) Å], with a dihedral angle of 1.65 (13)° between the planes of the indole and benzene rings. In the crystal, there are no significant inter-molecular π-π inter-actions [minimum ring centroid-centroid separation = 4.217 (5) Å].
