General description

Ozonolysis of the enamine bond of 1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-9H-pyrido[3,4-b]indole derivatives was studied.

Application

1,2,3,4-Tetrahydro-9H-pyrido[3,4-b]indole was employed in alkaloid synthesis and in studies on neurodegenerative diseases.
  • Reactant for synthesis of the indolyl-β-carboline alkaloid eudistomin U via IBX mediated room temperature oxidative aromatization
  • Reactant for preparation of neuroprotective HDAC6 inhibitors
  • Reactant for preparation of aminofuranopyrimidines as EGFR and Aurora A kinase inhibitors
  • Reactant for preparation of inhibitors of CDK4
  • Reactant for preparation of tetrahydrocarboline derivatives of as human 5-HT5A receptor ligands
  • Reactant for preparation of 5-(diaminomethyl)-2,4-aminopyrimidines as dihydrofolate reductase inhibitors and antibacterial agents

An efficient and broadly applicable alternative to the classical Pictet-Spengler synthesis of tetrahydro-β-carbolines is presented. The method relies on metal-catalyzed isomerization of allylic amines to form reactive iminium intermediates which can be trapped by a tethered indole nucleophile.

A four-step synthetic route to fully substituted chiral tetrahydro-β-carbolines (THBCs) is described. Starting from the (R,S,S)-Friedel-Crafts/Henry adduct obtained from three-component coupling of an indole, nitroalkene, and aldehyde catalyzed by imidazoline-aminophenol-CuOTf, the (1S,3S,4R)-THBCs were readily synthesized in a three-step operation including

Natural product discovery by random screening of broth extracts derived from cultured bacteria often suffers from high rates of redundant isolation, making it ever more challenging to identify novel biologically interesting natural products. Here we show that homology-based screening of

A novel series of nonpeptide CCK(2) receptor antagonists has been prepared, in which 2,7-dioxo-2,3,4,5,6,7-hexahydro-1H-benzo[h][1, 4]diazonine (5) was used as a chemical template. This uncommon ring system was obtained in a highly substituted form and in high yield by ozonolysis of
