Copper(I)-catalyzed dearomative arylation and vinylation of 2-substituted tryptophols were realized with a subsequent cyclization reaction. The cascade dearomatization sequence provided versatile furoindoline derivatives with two quaternary carbon centers in good to excellent yields.

Tryptophol is an aromatic alcohol and secondary metabolite of the opportunistic fungus Candida albicans. Although its toxicity profile at cell level has been poorly investigated, recent data point to cytotoxic, cytostatic, and genotoxic effects in lymphocytes and the induction of

Geometricin A (1), together with the known compounds (7E,12E,18S,20Z)-variabilin (2), clathryimine A (3), tryptophol (4), and L-tryptophan, has been isolated from the methanol extract of the Australian sponge Luffariella geometrica. The structure of the new compound geometricin A (1) was
In fungi, filamentous growth is a major developmental transition that occurs in response to environmental cues. In diploid Saccharomyces cerevisiae, it is known as pseudohyphal growth and presumed to be a foraging mechanism. Rather than unicellular growth, multicellular filaments composed
Reduction of ketosulfonyl indoles with sodium borohydride provides a ready entry to tryptophols in a regiocomplementary fashion with respect to the traditional oxirane ring-opening by indoles under Friedel-Crafts conditions. Compared to traditional β-ketosulfones, ketosulfonyl indoles show a peculiar behavior since
