(+)- and (-)-Tedanine [(+)- and (-)-], a pair of new enantiomeric indolone alkaloids, along with nine compounds (-) were isolated from the marine sponge sp. The structures of (+)- and (-)- including absolute configurations were determined by spectroscopic analysis and quantum chemical calculation. Compounds (+)- and (-)- were the first examples of indolone alkaloids isolated from this genus. In addition, the cytotoxic and antibacterial activities of these compounds were also evaluated.

Voagafries A-E, five undescribed monoterpenoid indole alkaloids (MIAs), were isolated from the stem bark of Voacanga africana. Voagafrie A (1) has a unique 6/5/5/6/6 spiral ring skeleton with an indolone-fused 9-oxo-3-aza-tricyclo[6,3,1,0]-12-alkane-10-carbonyllactone. Voagafrie B (2) is a rare 5,6-seco diazine scaffold, whereas voagafrie C (3) possesses an octahydropyrrolo[2,3-b] pyrrole-fused 2,8-diazabicyclo[3.

The oxidative C2-C3 π bond activation strategy is the most efficient tool to synthesize oxygen-containing indoline, which frequently appears in natural products with various biological activities as structural units. Recently, the oxidation-induced cascade strategy through oxygenation activation of the indolic C2-C3 π bond of indoles has received much attention for its use in efficiently establishing complex indoline with oxygen-containing molecular architectures, and holds tremendous potential in the total synthesis of indole alkaloids. It can be carried out using potential activated indole radical cations or imine cation intermediates produced oxidative C2-C3 π bond activation of indole with various nucleophiles or ring-forming reagents by employing simple and non-decorated indoles as starting substrates.

Here we report the development of unprecedented silver-catalyzed intramolecular annulations of -acrolyl-2-(3-indolyl) benzimidazoles with alkyl carboxylic acids to construct complex fused-pentacyclic alkaloid scaffolds. Divergent reactivities are noticed with altered groups at C2-indole of the substrate. The reaction proceeds through decarboxylative alkylation, followed by dearomative annulation in a domino manner with excellent diastereoselectivity.

Exploring three-dimensional chemical space is an important research objective of organic synthetic chemistry. Oxidative dearomatization (ODA) is one of the most important and powerful tools for realizing this goal, because it changes and removes aromatic structures from aromatic compounds to increase levels of saturation and stereoisomerism by direct addition reactions between functional groups with aromatic cores under oxidative conditions. As a hot topic in indole chemistry, the synthetic value of the oxidative dearomatization of indoles has been well recognized and has witnessed rapid development recently, since it could provide convenient and unprecedented access to fabricate high-value-added three-dimensional oxindole skeletons, such as C-quaternary indolones, polycycloindolones and spiroindolones, and be widely applied to the total synthesis of these oxindole alkaloids.
