چکیده

The Rh(II)- and Cu(II)-catalyzed reactions of N-bis(trimethylsilyl)methyl, N-(2-indolyl)methyl α-diazoamides are investigated to delineate how conformational, steric and electronic factors influence the site- and chemoselectivity of the metallocarbenoid reaction. The N-bis(trimethylsilyl)methyl (N-BTMSM) group is found to be essential in promoting the metallocarbenoid reaction at the N-(2-indolyl)methyl moiety as well as providing subtle but effective conformational influence about the amide N-C(α) sigma bond in diazoamides carrying an N-C(α) alkoxymethyl side-chain, to afford excellent site- and chemoselectivity. In general, the metal-catalyzed reactions are found to favor metallocarbenoid addition to the indole C(2)-C(3) double bond over C-H insertion to give cyclopropanated products (tetracyclic γ-lactams); however, chemoselectivity is also affected by steric effects, as revealed in the N-[2-(3-methylindolyl)]methyl diazoamides, and to some extent by the nature of the catalyst employed, as seen in the N-C(α)-alkoxymethyl diazoamides. The tetracyclic γ-lactams are found to rearrange to give good to high yields of the tricyclic indole derivatives under the metallocarbenoid reaction conditions or under acidic conditions. The propensity of the tetracyclic γ-lactams to undergo rearrangement is found to be dependent on the nature of the α-substituent on the original diazo carbon and the indole N-substituent.

An efficient green procedure for the synthesis of bis (indolyl) methanes in water

In this work, a green, simple and highly efficient procedure for the synthesis of bis(indolyl)methanes is described. The condensation of indoles with carbonyl compounds catalyzed by citric acid in water affords bis(indolyl)methanes in high yields and relatively short reaction times. The advantages of this method are using of water as a low cost solvent and efficient recyclability of the catalyst.
