The search for antibacterial agents for the combat of nosocomial infections is a timely problem, as antibiotic-resistant bacteria continue to thrive. The effect of indoline substituents on the antibacterial properties of aminoalkylphenols was studied, leading to the development of a library of compounds with minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) as low as 1.18 μM. Two novel aminoalkylphenols were identified as particularly promising, after MIC and minimum bactericidal concentrations (MBC) determination against a panel of reference strain Gram-positive bacteria, and further confirmed against 40 clinical isolates (Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Enterococcus faecalis, Enterococcus faecium, and Listeria monocytogenes). The same two aminoalkylphenols displayed low toxicity against two in vivo models (Artemia salina brine shrimp and Saccharomyces cerevisiae). The in vitro cytotoxicity evaluation (on human keratinocytes and human embryonic lung fibroblast cell lines) of the same compounds was also carried out. They demonstrated a particularly toxic effect on the fibroblast cell lines, with IC50 in the 1.7–5.1 μM range, thus narrowing their clinical use. The desired increase in the antibacterial properties of the aminoalkylphenols, particularly indoline-derived phenolic Mannich bases, was reached by introducing an additional nitro group in the indolinyl substituent or by the replacement of a methyl by a bioisosteric trifluoromethyl substituent in the benzyl group introduced through use of boronic acids in the Petasis borono-Mannich reaction. Notably, the introduction of an additional nitro moiety did not confer added toxicity to the aminoalkylphenols.

Described herein are rhenium-catalyzed [3+2] annulations of N-carbamoyl indoles with alkynes via C?H/C?N bond cleavage, which provide rapid access to fused-ring pyrroloindolone derivatives. For the first time, the weakly coordinating O-directing group was successfully employed in rhenium-catalyzed C?H activation reactions, enabled by the unique catalytic trio of Re2(CO)10, Me2Zn and ZnCl2. Mechanistic studies revealed that aminozinc species plays an important role in the reaction. Based on the mechanistic understanding, a more powerful catalytic trio of Re2(CO)10, [MeZnNPh2]2 and Zn(OTf)2 was devised and applied successfully in the [4+2] annulations of indolines and alkynes affording pyrroloquinolinone derivatives.

Two-dimensional lead and tin halide perovskites were prepared by intercalating the long alkyl group 1-hexadecylammonium (HDA) between the inorganic layers. We observed visible-light absorption, narrow-band photoluminescence, and nanosecond photoexcited lifetimes in these perovskites. Owing to their hydrophobicity and stability even in humid air, we applied these perovskites in the decarboxylation and dehydrogenation of indoline-2-carboxylic acids. (HDA)2PbI4 or (HDA)2SnI4 were investigated as photoredox catalysts for these reactions, and quantitative conversion and high yields were observed with the former.
