RESUMEN
A metal-free method for the formylation/acylation of indoles and ß-carbolines with (NH4)2S2O8 via direct decarboxylative cross-coupling of α-oxo/ketoacids in moderate to good yields is described. The reaction occurs between ambient temperature and 40 °C under mild reaction conditions with commercially available starting materials. This methodology can be expanded to some biologically active indole alkaloids like pityriacitrins, eudistomins Y1 and Y3, and marinacarbolines A-D.

A cascade approach to the synthesis of 5-(indol-3-yl)hydantoin framework has been developed by the reaction of indole with glyoxylic acid/pyruvic acid under a deep eutectic solution, (+)-tartaric acid-dimethylurea. N,N'-Dimethylurea from a deep eutectic solution functions as a reactant as well as a solvent mixture. Isolation of the intermediate, 5-hydroxyhydantoin, and its reaction with indole provides the mechanistic evidence for this reaction. This method was successfully applied in the first total synthesis of an alkaloid, (±)-oxoaplysinopsin B, with an overall yield of 48%.

A highly selective and captivating metal-free cross-dehydrogenative coupling for the cross-coupling of two reactive nucleophiles such as tetrahydro-ß-carboline and indoles is developed. A series of 1-indolyltetrahydro-ß-carboline derivatives were synthesized in excellent to moderate yields. Temperature, time and concentration control resulted in mono indolylation selectively. Moreover, the total synthesis of eudistomin U and isoeudistomin U and the first total synthesis of 19-bromoisoeudistomin U were accomplished.
RESUMEN
An operationally simple, metal-free, cost-effective, and mild oxidative cross-coupling protocol for the synthesis of 1-indolyl tetrahydrocarbazoles to afford 1-(indol-3-yl)carbazoles is developed. N-Chlorosuccinimide is used as a mild oxidant for the functionalization of the 1-position of tetrahydrocarbazoles, aromatization of which furnished 1-(indol-3-yl)carbazoles in good to moderate yields without employing protection/deprotection strategy. A naturally rare dibromo 1-(indol-3-yl)carbazole alkaloid was synthesized for the first time in two steps with an overall yield of 64% by applying the same methodology.
RESUMEN
A ligand-free copper catalyzed Suzuki-Miyaura coupling of 3,5-diiodopyridine with aryl and indole boronates has been explored in good to excellent yields. In situ generation of nano-Cu2O from CuCl2 under the reaction conditions has been discovered for the first time. The generality of the reaction was further demonstrated by the arylation of 5-iodopyrimidine, iodopyridines, iodobenzenes, and diiodobenzenes and resulted in good to moderate yields. Moreover, bisindole alkaloid Scalaridine A has been successfully synthesized in 60% overall yield.
RESUMEN
The simple, concise, protecting group free and first total synthesis of Metatacarboline alkaloids (abbreviated as Mc) Mc A, C, D, E and F are reported. The core structure of metatacarboline alkaloids has been constructed by the classical Wittig reaction as key step from easily accessible starting materials with 40-75% overall yields. These synthesized compounds have been subjected to evaluate for their anticancer activity using C6 glioma cell lines. Mc D and Mc F showed significant antiproliferative activity, which was confirmed by MTT and Clonogenic assay. FACS analysis showed that Mc D and Mc F arrested the cell cycle at sub G0/G1 and G2/M phase of cell cycle respectively. Further, Western blot analysis and immunohistochemistry of Mc D treated cells revealed activation of caspase dependent downstream signaling which led to apoptosis.
