An instant and efficient p-TSA·H2O-catalyzed sulfenylation reaction of 3-hydroxy bisindole derivatives is reported. This highly regioselective approach afforded C-3 functionalized products in excellent yield, and this methodology was found to be compatible with both aromatic and aliphatic thiols having electronic and steric divergence as well as diverse functional groups. The sulfenylation reaction was performed at room temperature with a green solvent with minimal catalyst loading and proceeded with the involvement of a quasi-antiaromatic-2H-indol-2-one ring intermediate. Moreover, the experimental results obtained for the sulfenylation reaction of 3-hydroxy bisindoles were supported by theoretical calculations in order to comprehend the regioselectivity and chemical reactivity observed in the thiolation reaction of 3-hydroxy bisindoles. The protocol involved the SN1 pathway, as also demonstrated by theoretical calculations.

Diabetes mellitus (DM) poses a major global healthcare challenge, highlighting the need for new treatments beyond current options. Currently available drugs have side effects including weight gain, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, insulin resistance etc. Therefore, given the benefits of indole derivatives in diabetes and the lack of computational studies on bis-indole-based triazine derivatives with aldose reductase (AR), this study employs in-silico analysis to explore their potential as type-2 diabetes treatments.

3-Hydroxy-2,2'-bisindole undergoes acid- and base-mediated dimerization-skeletal rearrangement processes, generating polyheterocyclic ring systems containing up to nine rings. The mechanistic rationale for these reactions is provided, which infers some overlap with the previously reported reactivity of 3',3″-dihydroxytetraindole under analogous reaction conditions.

Most of the twenty-six known alkaloids belonged to the corynanthean, ibogan, or bisindole classes. The structures of eleven other alkaloids--all minor--were only partially elucidated, most of them being new alkaloids.
