A mild and efficient Cu(2)O-catalyzed domino intramolecular C-N coupling/C-Y (Y = O, S, N) bond formation was successfully achieved. Thus oxazino[3,2-a]indole, thiazino[3,2-a]indole and indolo[2,1-b]quinazoline derivatives were facilely assembled from readily accessible gem-dibromovinyl systems. The protocol is general and practical, affording a variety of the indole-incorporated products in go...

Background: Acute myeloblastic leukemia (AML) is a clonal disorder due to bone marrow failure and uncontrolled proliferation of myeloid lineage. Acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) is a subtype of AML. Heterocyclic compounds, such as indole, are considered as attractive candidates for cancer therapy, due to their abundance in nature and known biological activity. Sal-like protein (SALL4) is a zi...

In this study, novel CuO/g-C3N4 nanocomposite was simply synthesized by impregnation of g-C3N4 with CuO nanoparticles. Then, the heterogeneous catalyst was characterized by various techniques including Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and transmission electron microscopy (...

Three reagents for detecting indole, Kovac, Ehrlich, and p-dimethylaminocinnamaldehyde (DMCA), were evaluated with commercial microtest systems for characterizing and identifying anaerobic bacteria. The DMCA reagent, the most sensitive of the three reagents, gave a positive reaction with 445 of 449 strains of various indole-producing anaerobic bacteria. There was 99.6% agreement between the res...

The title compounds, C17H13NO2S, (I), C17H13NO3S, (II), and C24H17ClN2O5S·CHCl3, (III), are indole derivatives. Compounds (I) and (II) crystalize with two independent mol-ecules in the asymmetric unit. The indole ring systems in all three structures deviate only slightly from planarity, with dihedral angles between the planes of the pyrrole and benzene rings spanning the tight range 0.20 (9)-1....

A chiral phosphoric acid-catalyzed selenofunctionalization of tryptamine derivatives provides access to 3a-(phenylselenyl)-1,2,3,3a,8,8a-hexahydropyrrolo[2,3-b]indole derivatives in high yields and with synthetically useful levels of enantioselectivity (up to 89% ee).

A Fischer indole synthesis with a cis-configurated octahydroisobenzofuran-6-one yielded exclusively a furo[3,4-c]carbazole derivative as the product of a regioselective angular annulation reaction. A Friedländer quinoline synthesis from the same substrate gave a mixture of angular and linear annulation products, i. e. furo[3,4-a]acridine and furo[3,4-b]acridine derivatives. When submitting a mi...

A strategy for the synthesis of 2,3-disubstituted indole derivatives based on an intramolecular carbopalladation-anion capture cascade has been developed, wherein construction of the pyrrole ring and functionalisation of the indole C2 and C3 positions were achieved by extensive use of palladium(0)-catalysed coupling reactions.

A new series of indole-based pyranoquinoline derivatives P1-24 has been synthesized by a one-pot cyclocondensation reaction of 2-(4-substituted)phenyl-N-allyl-indole-3-carbaldehydes 1a-d; active methylenes 2a-c; and 4-hydroxy-1-substituted quinolin-2(1H)-one 3a-b catalysed by an organocatalyst tetra-n-butylammonium fluoride (TBAF) in aqueous ethanol. The easy experimental procedure of the react...
