Friedel-Crafts Reaction of Acylsilanes: Highly Chemoselective Synthesis of 1-Hydroxy-bis(indolyl)methanes and 1-Silyl-bis(indolyl)methanes Derivatives.

ABSTRACT: A novel double Friedel-Crafts reaction of acylsilanes in water is described. This strategy enables synthesis of bis(indolyl)methane derivatives with 1-hydroxy or 1-silyl substituents in moderate to high yield. Compared to the 1-silyl-bis(indolyl)methane derivatives from indole substrate, 1-hydroxy-bis(indolyl)methane derivatives were synthesized from the 5-hydroxyindole, and the hydrogen bonds in the 5-hydroxyindole play a crucial role in regulating the reaction selectivity.

Facile synthesis of bis(indolyl)methanes catalyzed by α-chymotrypsin.

Project description:A mild and efficient method catalyzed by α-chymotrypsin was developed for the synthesis of bis(indolyl)methanes through a cascade process between indole and aromatic aldehydes. In the ethanol aqueous solution, a green medium, a wide range of aromatic aldehydes could react with indole to afford the desired products with moderate to good yields (from 68% to 95%) using a little α-chymotrypsin as catalyst.

Synthesis of Bis(3-indolyl)methanes Mediated by Potassium tert-Butoxide.

Project description:The indole moiety is an important N-heterocycle found in natural products, and a key structural component of many value-added chemicals including pharmaceuticals. In particular, bis(3-indolyl)methanes (BIMs) are an important subgroup of indoles, composed of two indole units. Herein, we report the development of a simple method to access BIMs derivatives in yields of up to 77 % by exploiting a tBuOK-mediated coupling reaction of indoles and benzyl alcohols.

Sulfonic Acid-Functionalized Solid Polymer Catalyst from Crude Cashew Nut Shell Liquid: Synthesis of Tetra(indolyl)methanes and Bis(indolyl)methanes from Xylochemicals.

Project description:Xylochemistry presents a sustainable solution to the depletion of petroleum resources, contributing to the success of the circulatory economy. The development of reusable carbonaceous materials as heterogeneous acid catalysts has garnered significant attention in both research community and industry. Catalysis research has an intrinsic connection with low-cost synthetic routes, sustainable raw materials, and chemical and thermal stability. We designed and made a solid acid catalyst that can be used more than once from cheap, naturally occurring, crude cashew nut shell liquid (CNSL). Identification of practical applications for waste biomass is a component of the objectives of sustainable development. We treated the black-colored crude CNSL with varying amounts of formaldehyde and further sulfonated the resulting crude resins with chlorosulfonic acid. The solid with the most sulfonic acid groups was used as a Bronsted acid catalyst (CNSLF-SO3H) for the Friedel-Craft reactions of indoles and furfuraldehydes. We synthesized 15 novel di[bis(indolyl)methane] derivatives from secondary xylochemical 2,5-diformylfuran (DFF) and 15 bis(indolyl)methanes from 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (5-HMF).

Enzymatic approach to cascade synthesis of bis(indolyl)methanes in pure water.

Project description:A mild, efficient, and green protocol was developed for the synthesis of bis(indolyl)methanes catalyzed by lipase TLIM through the cascade reactions of indole with aldehydes in pure water. This methodology offers many superiorities such as excellent yields, wide substrate range, simple procedure, reusable and minimal amount of catalyst, and the ability to be scaled up.

Mechanochemical Friedel-Crafts acylations.

Project description:Friedel-Crafts (FC) acylation reactions were exploited in the preparation of ketone-functionalized aromatics. Environmentally more friendly, solvent-free mechanochemical reaction conditions of this industrially important reaction were developed. Reaction parameters such as FC catalyst, time, ratio of reagents and milling support were studied to establish the optimal reaction conditions. The scope of the reaction was explored by employment of different aromatic hydrocarbons in conjunction with anhydrides and acylation reagents. It was shown that certain FC-reactive aromatics could be effectively functionalized by FC acylations carried out under ball-milling conditions without the presence of a solvent. The reaction mechanism was studied by in situ Raman and ex situ IR spectroscopy.

Biocatalytic Friedel-Crafts Reactions.

Project description:Friedel-Crafts alkylation and acylation reactions are important methodologies in synthetic and industrial chemistry for the construction of aryl-alkyl and aryl-acyl linkages that are ubiquitous in bioactive molecules. Nature also exploits these reactions in many biosynthetic processes. Much work has been done to expand the synthetic application of these enzymes to unnatural substrates through directed evolution. The promise of such biocatalysts is their potential to supersede inefficient and toxic chemical approaches to these reactions, with mild operating conditions - the hallmark of enzymes. Complementary work has created many bio-hybrid Friedel-Crafts catalysts consisting of chemical catalysts anchored into biomolecular scaffolds, which display many of the same desirable characteristics. In this Review, we summarise these efforts, focussing on both mechanistic aspects and synthetic considerations, concluding with an overview of the frontiers of this field and routes towards more efficient and benign Friedel-Crafts reactions for the future of humankind.

Development of an imidazole salt catalytic system for the preparation of bis(indolyl)methanes and bis(naphthyl)methane.

Project description:Imidazolium salts are shown to catalyze the rapid room temperature reaction of indoles or naphthol with aldehydes to provide bis(indolyl)methanes or bis(naphthol)methane in excellent yields and the reaction proceeds optimally in dichloromethane with no base additives. The reaction exhibits a broad substrate tolerance and occurs through nucleophilic activation of the indoles and naphthols through a cation-π interaction.

Friedel-Crafts acylation with amides.

Project description:Friedel-Crafts acylation has been known since the 1870s, and it is an important organic synthetic reaction leading to aromatic ketone products. Friedel-Crafts acylation is usually performed with carboxylic acid chlorides or anhydrides, while amides are generally not useful substrates in these reactions. Despite being the least reactive carboxylic acid derivative, we have found a series of amides capable of providing aromatic ketones in good yields (55-96%, 17 examples). We propose a mechanism involving diminished C-N resonance through superelectrophilic activation and subsequent cleavage to acyl cations.
