We present the unprecedented reaction of a [3+3] cyclization of indol-2-yl carbinol with azadiene for the construction of a six-membered ring and the subsequent oxidative ring expansion reaction for the construction of indole azepinones.

The synthesis of tetraarylmethanes has long been a challenge in the field of synthetic chemistry. In this study, a series of tetraarylmethanes were successfully synthesized through the formal nucleophilic substitution reaction of indol-2-yl diaryl methanol catalyzed by Brønsted acid. The key success of this study lies in suppressing the influence of water molecules by forming hydrogen bonds with the TFE solvent.

Article Synopsis
- * The quantum yield, or efficiency, of this reaction varies significantly based on the surrounding environment, being notably lower in protic solvents like methanol compared to aprotic ones like acetonitrile or n-hexane.
- * The decrease in quantum yield in methanol is attributed to hydrogen bonding interactions that reduce the formation efficiency of triplet states, ultimately leading to less singlet oxygen generation.
A Novel and Selective Nociceptin Receptor (NOP) Agonist (1-(1-((cis)-4-isopropylcyclohexyl)piperidin-4-yl)-1H-indol-2-yl)methanol (AT-312) Decreases Acquisition of Ethanol-Induced Conditioned Place Preference in Mice.

Background: Nociceptin/orphanin FQ, the endogenous peptide agonist for the opioid receptor-like receptor (also known as NOP or the nociceptin receptor), has been shown to block the acquisition and expression of ethanol (EtOH)-induced conditioned place preference (CPP). Here, we report the characterization of a novel small-molecule NOP ligand AT-312 (1-(1-((cis)-4-isopropylcyclohexyl)piperidin-4-yl)-1H-indol-2-yl)methanol) in receptor binding and GTPγS functional assays in vitro. We then investigated the effect of AT-312 on the rewarding action of EtOH in mice using the CPP paradigm.

The synthesis of a pentacyclic indole compound corresponding to the core structure of the misassigned indole alkaloid, tronoharine (1), is presented. The key reactions were a formal [3 + 3] cycloaddition of an indol-2-yl carbinol with an azadiene for the construction of the 6/5/6/6 tetracyclic system containing an all-carbon quaternary center and an intramolecular substitution reaction of an amine and a triflate for the creation of the bridged azepine ring. In addition, some other interesting transformations discovered during the synthetic studies are also discussed.
