Photoinduced chlorine atom-transfer cyclization/photohydrolysis of 3-acyl-2-chloro-N-(ω-phenylalkynyl)pyrroles: a one-pot synthesis of benzoyl-substituted fused pyrroles.

A one-pot synthesis of benzoyl-substituted fused pyrroles or indoles in moderate to high yields has been achieved by the photocyclization/photohydrolysis reactions of N-(ω-phenylalkynyl)-2-chloropyrrole-3-carbaldehydes or 3-acyl-N-(ω-phenylbutynyl)-2-haloindoles in wet acetone. The formation of all these products could be inferred by a two-step reactions, namely, photoinduced chlorine atom-transfer cyclization and subsequent photohydrolysis.

[Nasal bleeding as the first symptom of tsutsugamushi disease: a case report].

A case of 76-years-old male patient with nasal bleeding as the first symptom in our hospital, who was finally diagnosed as tsutsugamushi disease. This old man was bited by insect in farmland 2 days before the symptom occurred. PE: Left thigh and right buttock have eschar, with splenomegaly. Routine blood test: WBC (decrease) 3.9 x 10(9)/L, RBC (decrease) 3.86 x 10(9)/L, PLT (decrease) 41 x 10(9)/L, HGB (decrease) 117 g/L; Chest CT: lung interstitial pneumonia, a small amount of bilateral pleural effusion. Oxk-ag 1:320. The patient was discharged after treatment with chloramphenicol for 8 days.

Photoinduced Intramolecular addition of 3-acyl-2-haloindoles to alkenes.

1,2-Fused indoles and pyrroles were prepared via an efficient intramolecular photoaddition reaction of 1-(omega-alkenyl)-2-haloindole-3-carbaldehydes and 1-(omega-alkenyl)-2-chloropyrrole-3-carbaldehydes. The presence of an acyl group was necessary for the photocyclization reactions. The halogen-atom-retained exo- and endo-cyclization products were generally produced with results similar to those of an atom-transfer cyclization reaction. In contrast, unsaturated cyclization products were obtained in the photoreaction of substrates having methyl groups on the vinyl group.
