Concise syntheses of N-aryl-5,6,7-trimethoxyindoles as antimitotic and vascular disrupting agents: application of the copper-mediated Ullmann-type arylation.

چکیده
In an attempt to mimic the 3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl-Z-stilbene moiety of combretastatin A-4, a series of N-aryl-5,6,7-trimethoxyindoles were synthesized via copper-catalyzed Ullmann-type N-arylation through the corresponding 5,6,7-trimethoxyindole and aryl halides. These synthesized compounds demonstrated potent antiproliferative activity providing a novel skeleton for potent tubulin polymerization inhibitors.

Palladium- and copper-mediated N-aryl bond formation reactions for the synthesis of biological active compounds
N-Arylated aliphatic and aromatic amines are important substituents in many biologically active compounds. In the last few years, transition-metal-mediated N-aryl bond formation has become a standard procedure for the introduction of amines into aromatic systems. While N-arylation of simple aromatic halides by simple amines works with many of the described methods in high yield, the reactions m...
متن کاملPalladium(II) Phosphine-Ylide Complexes as Highly Efficient Homogeneous Pre-catalysts for the Ullmann Homocoupling Reaction of Aryl Halides
A highly efficient Ullmann homocoupling reaction of aryl halides using palladium (II) phosphine-ylide complexes as homogenous pre-catalysts under aerobic conditions has been developed without the need for any chemical co‐reducing agents. The procedure is relatively mild and appears to have broad applicability, being useful for the homocoupling of both electron-deficient and electron-rich aryl h...

Cu-catalysed arylation reactions devoted to the formation of C-C and C-heteroatom bonds (Ullmann-type couplings) have acquired great importance in the last decade. This review discusses the history and development of coupling reactions between aryl halides and various classes of nucleophiles, focusing mostly on the different mechanisms proposed through the years. Selected mechanistic investigat...

The N-arylindole subunit is an important species in many biologically active and pharmaceutically important compounds, which display antiestrogen [1], analgesic [2], antiallergy [3], antimicrobial [4], and neuroleptic activity [5]. Although the traditional coppercatalyzed coupling of an aryl halide with a heteroatombased nucleophile, the Ullmann-type coupling reaction, has remained a standard m...
