AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
The C(sp)-H function of indole ketone with diazo compound via a rhodium(II)-catalyzed intramolecular electrophilic trapping reaction under mild conditions in air was demonstrated. The established methodology provided a highly efficient approach for direct synthesis of mutisubstituted tetrahydrocarbazoles with continuous quaternary carbons. The resulting products facilitate further modification to conveniently construct tetrahydrocarbazoles with additional fused heterocyclic rings. By phenotypic screening, several products exhibit good anticancer bioctivities in osteosarcoma cell lines.

A bioinspired photo-Fries/imine capture cascade reaction was developed in continuous-flow mode, which facilitated the rapid construction of a series of diversely functionalized 2,7-heterocycle-fused tetrahydrocarbazoles, the ubiquitous core structures embedded in strychnos and akuammiline-type monoterpene indole alkaloids. The synthetic utility of this novel method has been preliminarily explored by the first total synthesis of (+)-alsmaphorazine C and formal synthesis of (+)-strictamine in a concise and efficient manner.

The Pictet-Spengler reaction is a fundamental named reaction in organic chemistry, and it is the most straightforward method for the synthesis of tetrahydro-β-carbolines, a core structure embedded in numerous alkaloids. Spiroindolenines are often proposed as possible intermediates in Pictet-Spengler reactions. However, whether the spiroindolenine species is an intermediate in the mechanism of the asymmetric Pictet-Spengler reaction remains unclear.
