Disclaimer:This lecture will only cover methodology for the construction of the indole and pyrrole ring systems, rather than functionalionalization of pre-existing heterocycles, which would be the topic of another series of lectures.

Indole:

Nature: – The most abundant heterocycle in nature – Found in tryptophan, indole-3-acetic acid (plant growth hormone), serotonin (neurotransmitter), natural products, drugs – Isolated industrially from coal tar – Biosynthesis of tryptophan

Reactivity:

– Isoelectronic with naphthalene (slightly lower stabilization energy) – Indole has a higher stabilization energy than benzene – Very weakly basic: pKa of protonated indole: –2.4 – Protonation occurs at C–3 preferentially – Easily oxidized (atmospheric oxygen) – very electron rich – Less prone to oxidation of EWG's on the ring – less electron rich – Electrophilic attack occurs at C–3 (site of most electron density) – C–3 is 1013 times more reactive to electrophilic attack than benzene – C–2 is the second most reactive site on the molecule, but most easily functionalized by directed lithiation – pKa of N–H is 16.7 (20.9 DMSO) – N–1 is the most nucleophilic site on indole – Nucleophilic substitution at benzylic carbons enhanced – Regiospecific functionalization of the carbocycle is difficult without pre-functionalization of the ring (i.e. halogenation)

Disconnection 2:

Pyrrone Diels-Alder:

– Little regiocontrol observed in most reactions – pyrrole-quinodimethanes are not stable and therefore not amenable for Diels-Alders directly

Disconnection 3a:

Sugasawa Indole Synthesis:

– Requires very strong Lewis Acids so many functionalities are not stable – Choice of second Lewis acid depends on substitution pattern

Bischler Indole Synthesis:

– Not very general: requires HBr (1 eq) and 200+ oC – Mechanism?

Disconnection 3b:

Gassman Indole Synthesis:

– Good regiocontrol observed with ortho or para substitution – ortho/para methoxy substituents failed completely

Disconnection 3c:

– Quite mild, if the O-vinyl derivatives can be synthesized

Disconnection 8a:

Heck Approach:

– Yields = 70's – 90's – Choice of base and protecting group on the nitrogen can affect the yield

More Palladium:

– Can intercept the intermediate organopalladium species – Any organozinc reagent can be used to transmetallate.

Mori-Ban Indole Synthesis:

– Requires stoichiometric nickel – Yields only about 50%.

Disconnection 8b:

More Palladium:

– Works best with an EWG on the olefin

Photochemical:

Disconnection 8c:

Acid Catalyzed Cyclization:

– LA commonly ZnCl2 – Can also use ketals with BF3 or TiCl4
