Abstract:A series of novel 2-substituted 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroeudistomin U derivatives were synthesized by the key PictetSpengler cyclization reaction and their in vitro antitumor activities were evaluated using Pyricularia oryzae Cavara and Caco-2 cancer cells. Most of the 2-alkyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroeudistomin U compounds (19-23) showed potent inhibitory activities in both of the biological tests. Preliminary structure-activity relationships are also presented.
“…Under MW agitation at 100 ο C, the reaction time could be decreased from 4 h to 30 min ( Table 2). The synthesis of 9a has already been achieved [22][23][24] from 1H-indole-3-ethanamine and 1Hindole-3-carboxaldehyde via Pictet-Spengler condensation. The main advantage of our method is the application of indole instead of indole-3-carboxaldehyde.…”
4,9-Dihydro-3H-β-carboline and 6-methoxy-4,9-dihydro-3H-β-carboline were subjected to catalyst-free onepot α-arylation with 1 or 2-naphthol, 6-hydroxyquinoline or 5-hydroxyisoquinoline as N-containing analogues via direct aza-Friedel-Crafts reactions. The procedure was then extended to other electron-rich aromatic compounds, such as indole or indole-2-carboxylic acid, to yield new indole γ-amino acid derivatives containing β-carboline skeleton. All the reactions were performed both under neat conditions and with microwave irradiation. The reaction of 2,3,4,9-tetrahydro-1H-pyrido[3,4-b]indole and benzaldehyde with 1-naphthol as nucleophile led to the formation of the N-alkylated compound as a single product, whereas the reaction with 2-resulted in the two possible α-arylated/N-alkylated products, in a ratio depending on the reaction conditions.

“…, when 6,7-dihydrothieno[3,2-c]pyridine (85) was reacted either with 20a or with 79. From the results inTable 15(entries 8-11), it can be concluded that 85 has a higher reactivity with indolederivatives as compared with 4,6-dihydro-3H-benz[c]azepine(84).…”

“…When the reaction was repeated under MW agitation at 100 ο C, the reaction time could be decreased from 4 h to 30 min(Table 16). The synthesis of 93a was earlier achieved[82][83][84] from 1H-indole-3-ethanamine and 1H-indole-3-carboxaldehyde via Pictet-Spengler condensation. The main advantage of our method is the application of indole derivatives instead of indole-3-carboxaldehyde, the direct α-arylation of partially saturated β-carbolines with electronrich aromatic compounds opening up new areas of diversity for this reaction.…”
A highly selective metal-free CDC approach for the synthesis of 1-indolyltetrahydro-β-carbolines is developed. The total synthesis of biologically important alkaloids, eudistomin U and isoeudistomin U and the first total synthesis of 19-bromoisoeudistomin U were accomplished.
