A novel asymmetric [3 + 2] cyclization of α-indolyl propargylic alcohols with 3-alkyl-1H-indoles via chiral phosphoric acid catalysis has been established. This strategy allowed the synthesis of chiral α-indolyl pyrrolo[1,2-a]indole derivatives with high yields (up to 91%) and excellent enantioselectivities (up to 99% ee), facilitating both the reaction activity and enantioselectivity by using the solvent of CHCFCl. Significantly, this protocol will provide an effective synthetic approach for constructing enantioenriched α-indolyl pyrrolo[1,2-a]indole cores of antimalarial natural product isoborreverine analogues.

Objectives: Blood stage malaria parasites attenuated with seco-cyclopropyl pyrrolo indole (CPI) analogues induce robust immunity in mice to homologous and heterologous malaria parasites and are being considered for the development of a human vaccine. However, it is not understood how attenuated parasites induce immunity. We showed that following vaccination, parasite DNA persisted in blood for several months, raising the possibility that ongoing immune stimulation may be critical.

An alternate strategy has evolved from observations that low-density infections can induce antibody-independent immunity to different strains. To test this strategy, we treated parasitized red blood cells from the rodent parasite Plasmodium chabaudi with seco-cyclopropyl pyrrolo indole analogs.

The title compound, C(23)H(18)N(2)O(4)S(2), contains a pyrrolo group fused onto the plane of an indole ring with phenyl-sulfonyl and p-toluene-sulfonyl groups bonded to the indole and pyrrolo rings. The angles between the mean planes of the pyrrolo-indole ring and the phenyl-sulfonyl and p-toluene-sulfonyl rings are 73.7 (6) and 80.
