Approaching all isomers: A range of α-, β- and δ-carbolinium ions are readily available from ortho-substituted aryl azides using a rhodium(II) carboxylate catalyst (see scheme). The carbolinium ions are readily reduced to afford tryptolines or deprotonated to access pyridoindoles. This [RhII2]-catalyzed C-H bond amination was used in the synthesis of (±)-horsfiline and neocryptolepine. esp=α,α,α',α'- tetramethyl-1,3-benzenedipropionate. Copyright
Synthesis of nitrogen heterocycles by the ring opening of pyridinium salts
Kearney, Aaron M.,Vanderwal, Christopher D.
, p. 7803 - 7806 (2007/10/03)
(Chemical Equation Presented) The century-old ring-opening reaction of pyridinium salts with tethered nucleophiles has been harnessed for a synthesis of substituted indoles and related nitrogen heterocyles. Extension of this method could lead to oxygen- and sulfur-containing heterocycles and carbocycles, as well as to applications in natural product synthesis and medicinal chemistry.
