Three new gelsedine-type oxindole alkaloids, GS-1, GS-2, and GS-3, and one new iridoid, GSIR-1, were isolated from the stems and leaves of cultivated Carolina jasmine (Gelsemium sempervirens AIT. f.) and their structures were determined by spectroscopic analysis.

The absolute and relative configurations of bioactive chiral molecules are typically relevant to their biological properties. It is thus highly important and desirable to construct all possible stereoisomers of a lead candidate or a given bioactive natural compound. Synergistic dual catalysis has been recognized as a reliable synthetic strategy for a variety of predictable stereodivergent transformations.

This work describes the development of the first enantioselective addition reaction between 1,3,5,7-tetramethyl-BODIPYs and isatin derivatives. The reaction utilizes bifunctional quinine/squaramide organocatalysts and affords nine novel chiral BODIPY dyes under mild conditions, with enantioselectivities reaching up to 60%. The synthesized BODIPY-oxindoles exhibit high fluorescence emissions, consistent with their parent BODIPYs, and display tunable colors.

The structural groups of 2-oxindole and tricyclic 3a-hydroxy-hexahydropyrrolo-[2,3-]indole (HO-HPI) are important pharmacophores. Chemical synthesis of complex alkaloids containing a 2-oxindole or HO-HPI moiety, especially the latter one, has been a long-standing challenge. Herein, we characterized the P450 enzyme AfnD, and its homologue proteins, HmtT, ClpD, KtzM, and LtzR, as cyclopeptide 2-oxindole and HO-HPI monooxygenases (cpOPMOs) that could introduce a 2-oxindole or HO-HPI moiety into the tryptophan-containing cyclopeptides in a pH-dependent manner.

Palladium-catalyzed allylic C-H alkylation of terminal olefins with 3-carboxamide oxindoles.

A novel palladium-catalyzed allylic C-H alkylation of terminal olefins with 3-carboxamide oxindoles is described. A variety of new 3-carboxamide-3-allylation oxindoles with an all-carbon quaternary center were obtained in moderate to good yields (up to 99%). In addition, the asymmetric version of this reaction was also explored, providing moderate enantioselectivity.

Facile and Versatile Mechanochemical Synthesis of Indigoid Photoswitches.

Institute of Organic Chemistry, Polish Academy of Sciences, Kasprzaka 44/52, 01-224, Warsaw, Poland.

We demonstrate the application of mechanochemistry in the synthesis of indolone-based photoswitches (hemiindigos, hemithioindigos, and oxindoles) via Knoevenagel condensation reactions. Utilizing ball-milling and an organic base (piperidine) acting as catalyst and solvent for liquid assisted grinding (LAG) conditions, we achieve rapid, solvent-free transformations, obtaining a set of known and previously unreported photoswitches, including highly functional amino acid-based photoswitches, multichromophoric derivatives and photoswitchable cavitands based on resorcin[4]arenes. The reaction under mechanochemical conditions gives moderate-to-high yields and is highly stereoselective leading to Z-isomers of hemiindigos and hemithioindigos and E-isomers of oxindoles.
