Enhanced Efficiency of Thiourea Catalysts by External Brønsted Acids in the Friedel–Crafts Alkylation of Indoles
نویسندگان
چکیده
A novel study of external Brønsted acid-assisted thiourea catalysts in the asymmetric FriedelCrafts alkylation of indoles with nitroalkenes is reported. The final 3-substituted indoles derivatives are synthesized with better results by cooperative effect between chiral thiourea and a Brønsted acid additive (1a·HA), than those obtained with sole thiourea catalyst 1a. The effect of diverse catalysts, different acid additives, solvents and temperatures in the reaction is also explored. The high reactivity and selectivity of the reaction is presumptively attributed to an appropriate assembly between the Brønsted acid and the thiourea structure, affording a more acid and rigid catalytic complex.

متن کاملHighly enantioselective Friedel-Crafts alkylations of pyrroles and indoles with alpha'-hydroxy enones under Cu(II)-simple bis(oxazoline) catalysis.
Remarkably high and regular enantioselectivities are obtained in Friedel-Crafts alkylation reactions involving alpha'-hydroxy enone templates and Cu(II)-bis(oxazoline) complexes as catalysts. The simple elaboration of adducts provides a route to enantioenriched aldehydes, carboxylic acids, and ketones containing the pyrrole and indole frameworks.
