Journal ArticleDOI
An Advantageous Synthesis of 2-Substituted Benzimidazoles Using Polyphosphoric Acid. 2-(Pyridyl)-1H-benzimidazoles, 1-Alkyl-(1H-benzimidazol-2-yl)pyridinium Salts, their Homologues and Vinylogues
TL;DR: The title 2-substituted benzimidazoles were prepared by a highly efficient one-pot procedure, cyclodehydration of the corresponding accessible carboxylic acids and 1,2-arylenediamines, using polyphosphoric acid as the catalyst and solvent as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Total synthesis of the bridged indole alkaloid apparicine.
TL;DR: From this key intermediate, an intramolecular vinyl halide Heck reaction accomplished the closure of the strained 1-azabicyclo[4.2.2]decane framework of the alkaloid with concomitant incorporation of the exocyclic alkylidene substituents.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sequential N-Acylamide Methylenation−Enamide Ring-Closing Metathesis: Construction of Benzo-Fused Nitrogen Heterocycles
TL;DR: From certain substrates, the direct annulation is observed in the titanium-mediated step, which is likely to occur through an olefin metathesis-intramolecular olefination sequence.
Journal ArticleDOI
Regioselective intramolecular reactions of 2-indolylacyl radicals with pyridines : A direct synthetic entry to ellipticine quinones
TL;DR: Two-Indolylacyl radicals generated from the corresponding selenoesters under hexabutylditin-hnu conditions undergo regioselective intramolecular reaction with unprotonated pyridines to give polycyclic indolylpyridyl ketones.
Journal ArticleDOI
Synthesis of 5-(sulfamoylmethyl)indoles
TL;DR: In this paper, the synthesis of 5-(sulfamoylmethyl)indoles bearing a two-carbon chain at C-3 (aminoethyl, acetate, hydroxyethyl, ethyl) either by the Grandberg modification of the Fischer indolization or by intramolecular Heck reaction of suitable o -halotrifluoroacetanilides is reported.
