We have developed catalyst-controlled regiodivergent rearrangements of onium-ylides derived from indole substrates. Oxonium ylides formed in situ from substituted indoles selectively undergo [2,3]- and [1,2]-rearrangements in the presence of a rhodium and a copper catalyst, respectively. The combined experimental and density functional theory (DFT) computational studies indicate divergent mechanistic pathways involving a metal-free ylide in the rhodium catalyzed reaction favoring [2,3]-rearrangement, and a metal-coordinated ion-pair in the copper catalyzed [1,2]-rearrangement that recombines in the solvent-cage. The application of our methodology was demonstrated in the first total synthesis of the indole alkaloid (±)-sorazolon B, which enabled the stereochemical reassignment of the natural product. Further functional group transformations of the rearrangement products to generate valuable synthetic intermediates were also demonstrated.

A novel series of N-substituted 3-(1H-imidazol-1-ylmethyl)indole carboxylic acid derivatives were prepared and evaluated for thromboxane A2 (TXA2) synthetase-inhibitory and histaminergic H1-blocking activity. Among the compounds synthesized, indole-6-carboxylic acid derivatives showed higher activities than the other positional isomers of carboxylic acid. 1-[3-(4- Benzhydryl-1-piperazinyl)propyl]-3-(1H-imidazol-1-ylmethyl)-1H-indole-6- carboxylic acid (12) had the strongest thromboxane synthetase inhibitory activity (IC50 = 5 x 10-8 M) and H1-blocking activity (IC50 = 8 x 10- 9 M).
