The synthesis and evaluation of the anticancer activity of 3'-aryl-5'-arylidene-spiro[3H-indole-3,2'-thiazolidine]-2,4'(1H)-diones and spiro[3H-indole-3,2'-thi-azolidine]-2,4'(1H)-dione-3'-alkanoic acid esters were described. The structure of the compounds was determined by (1)H and (13)C NMR and their in vitro anticancer activity was tested in the National Cancer Institute. Among the tested co...

A concise synthesis of spiro-cyclopropane compounds from indole derivatives and sulfur ylides has been developed via a dearomatization strategy. Moreover, the spiro-cyclopropane compounds could be conveniently transformed to rearomatized indole derivatives in the presence of acids.

A new approach towards the synthesis of indole derivatives via triflic acid-promoted cycloisomerization with rearrangement of 2-(alkyn-1-yl)phenyl isothiocyanates and 2-(alkyn-1-yl)phenyl isocyanates has been achieved. By this methodology, structurally diverse types of indole derivatives such as thieno- and furo-indoles, spiro-indolethiones, spiro-oxindoles, and 3-alkylidene-oxindoles were synt...

A facile construction of the spiro[indole-3,2'-pyrrolidine] skeleton, through diacetoxyiodobenzene (PIDA) mediated C-N bond-forming dearomatization of C3 sulfonamide linked indole derivatives, has been developed. A variety of spiro-indolepyrrolidines were obtained in moderate to excellent yields under mild conditions.

The arylidienes of spiro thiazolidines (5) containing α,β-unsaturated function have been used as component of Micheal addition with equimolar amount of 2-aminopyridine (6a) to give novel spiro [indole-3,2′-pyrido[1,2-a]thiazolo[5,4-e]pyrimidines] (7) in a single step under microwaves in presence of montmorillonite KSF as solid support. The new improved synthetic method for spiro [indole-3, 2′-t...

The crystal structures of the new compounds spiro[cyclohexane-1,3’-indol]-2’(1’H)-one (1), (rel-1R,2S)-spiro[bicyclo[2.2.1] heptane-2,3’-indol]-2’(1’H)-one (2) and spiro[indole-3,2’-tricyclo[3.3.1.1]decan]-2(1H)-one (3) have been determined by low temperature single crystal X-ray diffraction. The effects of substitution on the hydrogen bonding pattern is compared between all three compounds.

The title compound, C(28)H(30)N(2), is a symmetrical 2:2 product from the condensation of indole and cyclo-hexa-none. It is the only reported 5,11-dihydro-indolo[3,2-b]carbazole compound in which the spiro atoms are quaternary C atoms. Crystals were grown by vapor diffusion in a three-zone electric furnace. The mol-ecule resides on a crystallographic inversion center. The cyclo-hexyl rings are ...

Peroxy-containing metabolitesare an interesting group amongbiological active natural compounds. These metabolites contain a peroxide group (-O-O-) in which each oxygen atom is bonded to the other oxygen an to another atom. β-Oxygen in hydroperoxide group is considered as moreactive.Present review describes research on more than 100 natural hydroperoxidesand rare acyclic peroxides isolated from ...

Two new fates of imine intermediates formed on radical cyclizations of ene-sulfonamides have been identified, reduction and hydration/fragmentation. Tin hydride-mediated cyclizations of 2-halo-N-(3-methyl-N-sulfonylindole)anilines provide spiro[indoline-3,3'-indolones] or spiro-3,3'-biindolines (derived from imine reduction), depending on the indole C2 substituent. Cyclizations of 2-haloanilide...

In the title compound, C26H20N4O2S, the central pyrrolidine ring adopts a twist conformation on the C-C bond involving the spiro C atom. Its mean plane makes dihedral angles of 78.83 (14), 65.91 (15) and 44.49 (18)° with the mean planes of the adjacent oxindole ring system, the indole system and the thio-phene ring, respectively. The indole and indoline units are essentially planar, with maximu...
