Indole-Based Macrocyclization by Metal-Catalyzed Approaches

This review is dedicated to the different varieties of macrocycles synthesis bearing indole units in their architecture by metal-catalyzed strategies. The progress new macrocyclization approaches persisted be a keen area research. Macrocycles contain wide variety molecules, and among those, heteroaryl motifs are valuable constituents that provide an attractive feature macrocyclic systems. Indole represents one privileged pharmacophores against targets with various biological applications. Among nitrogen-based heterocycles, plays prominent role organic synthesis, medicinal chemistry, pharmaceuticals, natural products agrochemicals, dye fragrances, drug design. These scaffolds widely distributed several bioactive synthetic constructed specific biochemical target most common naturally occurring molecules. Due its immense importance, novel for indole-based has increased steadily. majority proceeds through macrolactamization macrolactonization, as well C–C bond process described ring-closing metathesis (RCM) coupling reactions. macrocyclizations, considered powerful tools chemists design macrocycles. aims give comprehensive insight into scaffold catalyzed transition metals emerged literature over last two decades. We hope this will persuade search strategies protocols.
