Herein, we report a new air-stable phosphine-free 8-AQ (8-aminoquinoline) based Mn(I) carbonyl complex as the catalyst for the C(α)-alkylation of oxindoles with alcohols. The Mn complex [(8-AQ)Mn(CO) Br] works effectively as a catalyst for the α-alkylation of oxindoles by both secondary as well as primary alcohols. The procedure has been used for the synthesis of pharmaceutically important recently developed oxindoles such as 3-(4-methoxybenzyl)indolin-2-one, 3-(4-(dimethylamino)benzyl)indolin-2-one, 3-(4-(dimethylamino)phenyl)-5-fluoroindolin-2-one and 3-(benzo[d][1,3]dioxol-5-ylmethyl)indolin-2-one, which are found to be effective in preventing specific types of cell death in neurodegenerative disorders. Control experiments have been carried out to investigate the reaction mechanism and the crucial role of metal-ligand cooperation via -NH moiety during catalysis.

The insertion of carbene into secondary amide N-H bonds remains underexplored in organic synthesis. In this work, we discovered the visible-light-induced insertion of siloxycarbene into amide N-H bonds. This metal-free, facile reaction proceeds with atom economy under mild conditions with a broad range of secondary N-H amides, including benzanilide, acetanilide, oxindole, isatin, quinolinone, and maleimide, affording stable - and -acetals in excellent isolated yields.

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.

Histone deacetylase 6 (HDAC6) is a promising target for treating neurodegenerative disorders, several cancer types and viral infections. Unique among HDACs, the HDAC6 isoform possesses a zinc finger ubiquitin-binding domain (UBD) crucial for managing misfolded protein aggregates and facilitating viral infection. HDAC6 binds aggregated polyubiquitinated proteins through its UBD, mediating their transport to the aggresome and subsequent removal via autophagy.

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.

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.
