Deprotonation of Indole Derivatives in Aqueous Cationic Surfactants

EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF ORGANIC CHEMISTRY, Issue 5 2004
Nicoletta Spreti
Abstract Deprotonations of 5-nitroindole, 1a, and its 2-carboxylate ion, 2a, have been monitored in 0.01, 0.1, and 0.5 M NaOH in micellar solutions of cetyl trialkylammonium bromide, alkyl = Me, Et, nPr, nBu, CTABr, CTEABr, CTPABr, CTBABr. Extents of deprotonation (% f) have been fitted using the pseudophase model of micellar effects with interionic competition described by ion exchange or by independent association constants. Both treatments indicate that base dissociation constants in dilute OH, are lower than in water by factors of ca. 3,11, and decrease with increasing bulk of the head groups, and that these factors increase modestly as the OH, concentration increases to 0.5 M.

Hongwei Zhou
Abstract A sulfur-assisted and 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (DBU)-catalyzed cyclization of 2-alkynylanilines for the metal-free synthesis of indole derivatives is reported. As a result of the metal-free process, the ready availability of the starting materials and the simple and convenient operation, the type of reaction presented here has potential utility in organic synthesis. A 10-gram scale preparation may demonstrate the possibility of its application in the environmentally friendly synthesis of indole derivatives. [source]


Development of Diphenylamine-Linked Bis(imidazoline) Ligands and Their Application in Asymmetric Friedel,Crafts Alkylation of Indole Derivatives with Nitroalkenes

ADVANCED SYNTHESIS & CATALYSIS (PREVIOUSLY: JOURNAL FUER PRAKTISCHE CHEMIE), Issue 7 2010
Han Liu
Abstract The new diphenylamine-linked bis(imidazoline) ligands were prepared through Kelly-You's imidazoline formation procedure mediated by Hendrickson's reagent in good yields. The novel ligands were tested in the asymmetric Friedel,Crafts alkylation of indole derivatives with nitroalkenes. In most cases, good yields (up to 97%) and excellent enantioselectivities (up to 98%) can be achieved. The optimized bis(imidazoline) ligand with trans -diphenyl substitution on the imidazoline ring gave better enantioselectivity than the corresponding bis(oxazoline) ligand. [source]


Exciplex-type Behavior and Partition of 3-Substituted Indole Derivatives in Reverse Micelles Made with Benzylhexadecyldimethylammonium Chloride, Water and Benzene,

PHOTOCHEMISTRY & PHOTOBIOLOGY, Issue 2 2001
Claudio D. Borsarelli
ABSTRACT The fluorescence properties of 3-methylindole (MI), 3-indoleacetic acid (IAA), 3-indoleethyltrimethylammonium bromide (IETA), l -tryptophan (Trp) and tryptamine hydrochloride (TA) were studied in reverse micelles solutions made with the cationic surfactant benzylhexadecyldimethylammonium chloride (BHDC) in benzene as a function of the molar ratio water/surfactant R (=[H2O]/[BHDC]). The fluorescence quenching of the model compound MI by benzene in cyclohexane solutions and by BHDC in benzene solutions were also studied in detail. The fluorescence of MI in benzene is characteristic of a charge-transfer exciplex. The exciplex is quenched by the presence of BHDC, due to the interactions of the surfactant ion pairs with the polar exciplex. In reverse micelle solutions at low R values, all the indoles show exciplex-type fluorescence. As R increases, the fluorescence behavior strongly depends on the nature of the indole derivative. The anionic IAA remains anchored to the cationic interface and its fluorescence is quenched upon water addition due to the increases of interface's micropolarity. For IETA, TA and Trp an initial fluorescence quenching is observed at increasing R, but a fluorescence recovery is observed at R > 5, indicating a probe partition between the micellar interface and the water pool. For the neutral MI, the fluorescence changes with R indicate the partition of the probe between the micellar interface and the bulk benzene pseudophase. A simple two-site model is proposed for the calculation of the partition constants K as a function of R. In all cases, the calculation showed that even at the highest R value, about 90% of the indole molecules remain associated at the micellar interface. [source]


2-Aryl-3-(1H -Azol-1-yl)-1H -Indole Derivatives: A New Class of Antimycobacterial Compounds , Conventional Heating in Comparison with MW-Assisted Synthesis

ARCHIV DER PHARMAZIE, Issue 12 2009
Daniele Zampieri
Abstract 2-Aryl-3-(1H -imidazol-1-yl and 1H -1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)-1H -indole derivatives were synthesized and tested for their in-vitro antifungal and antimycobacterial activities. These indole derivatives were devoid of antifungal activity against the tested strains of Candida spp. Yet, they exhibited an interesting antitubercular activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis reference strain H37Rv.

Reinvestigation of a Cyclic Dipeptide N -Prenyltransferase Reveals Rearrangement of N-1 Prenylated Indole Derivatives

CHEMBIOCHEM, Issue 7 2008
Han-Li Ruan Prof. Dr.
Converting revere to regular: Reinvestigation of cyclic dipeptide N -prenyltransferase (CdpNPT) revealed that the enzymatic products are derivatives that carry 3,-(3,,3,)-dimethylallyl moieties at the N-1 position of the indole ring, and they undergo rearrangement in the presence of acids, such as trichloroacetic acid, used for termination of enzymatic reactions and protein precipitation (see scheme). The rearrangement can be avoided by using MeOH instead of acid for termination and protein precipitation. [source]


Research Letter: New Potent Indole Derivatives as Hyaluronidase Inhibitors

CHEMICAL BIOLOGY & DRUG DESIGN, Issue 6 2007
Süreyya Ölgen
Because of the physiologic importance of hyaluronidases, the identification of potent and selective inhibitors of hyaluronidases has become increasingly important. A variety of assay methods have been used for such a purpose, i.e. classical turbidimetric, viscometric and colorimetric. In this study, a modified enzymatic assay has been used to obtain a microtiter plate-based sensitive activity screening. All inhibitors were tested in a stains-all assay at pH 7 and in a Morgan-Elson assay at pH 3.5. Among the tested compounds, 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 8, 16, 17 and 18 showed good inhibition of more than 50%, so the IC50 values of these derivatives were determined in the range of 25,41 ,m. The IC50 value of the most active hyaluronidase inhibitor Vcpal (6-palmitoyl- l -ascorbic acid) was measured as 8.36 ,m. All inhibitors including Vcpal showed twofold less activity at pH 3.5 in a Morgan-Elson assay. Examination of substituent effects on the activity showed that para -positions of benzamide needs to be chlorinated or fluorinated to obtain good inhibitory effect. It was found that the introduction of a p -fluoro benzyl ring in the indole nitrogen has a positive effect for the inhibitory effects of both indole-2- and 3-carboxamide derivatives. [source]

N -Glucosyl-1H -indole Derivatives from Cortinarius brunneus (Basidiomycetes)

CHEMISTRY & BIODIVERSITY, Issue 4 2008
Axel Teichert
Abstract Two new N -glucosylated indole alkaloids were isolated from fruiting bodies of the basidiomycete Cortinarius brunneus (Pers.) Fr. The structures were elucidated by means of the spectroscopic data. Additionally, the very recently reported compounds N- 1 -,- glucopyranosyl-3-(carboxymethyl)-1H -indole (3) and N- 1 -,- glucopyranosyl-3-(2-methoxy-2-oxoethyl)-1H -indole (4) could be detected. Compound 3 is the N -glucoside of the plant-growth regulator 1H -indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), but, in contrast, it does not exhibit auxin-like activity in an Arabidopsis thaliana tap root elongation assay.

Raman Spectroscopy Detects Cardiac Allograft Rejection with Molecular Specificity

CLINICAL AND TRANSLATIONAL SCIENCE, Issue 3 2009
Yoon Gi Chung B.S.
Abstract Spatially resolved Raman spectroscopy is shown here to be capable of molecular-specific detection without exogenous labeling. This molecular specificity is achieved by detecting the strong and characteristic Raman spectral signature of an indole derivative, serotonin, whose selective existence in rejected heart transplants serves as the biomarker. The study also corroborates the increasingly recognized role of serotonin receptors in various immune responses, including cardiac allograft rejection. Combining both medical and physical sciences, this work demonstrates the potential use of Raman spectroscopy in replacing the invasive endomyocardial biopsy as the standard for post-transplantation rejection surveillance and presents a new paradigm in advancing clinical care through interdisciplinary studies.

Trapping of Active Methylene Intermediates with Alkenes, Indoles or Thiols: Towards Highly Selective Multicomponent Reactions

ADVANCED SYNTHESIS & CATALYSIS (PREVIOUSLY: JOURNAL FUER PRAKTISCHE CHEMIE), Issue 18 2009
Yanlong Gu
Abstract In this paper, a basic method to access new multicomponent reactions (MCRs) is reported. The mechanism of these MCRs is based on the trapping of methylene intermediates, formed in situ by reaction of formaldehyde with electron-rich carbons, with alkene, thiol or indole derivatives. According to our strategy, a wide range of valuable skeletons has been obtained in a one-pot reaction, thus allowing a minimization of waste, cost and labor. The presented methodology exhibits a broad substrate scope and electron-rich carbons in the ,-position of a hydroxy or carbonyl group were found to be particularly efficient. More generally, this work offers new tools for creating molecular complexity and diversity from one of the simplest organic building blocks, formaldehyde. [source]


Production of dyestuffs from indole derivatives by naphthalene dioxygenase and toluene dioxygenase

LETTERS IN APPLIED MICROBIOLOGY, Issue 6 2003
J.Y. Kim
Abstract Aims: To isolate and characterize the phorate [O,O-diethyl-S-(ethylthio)methyl phosphoradiothioate] degrading bacteria from agricultural soil, and their assessment for multifarious biological activities of environmental and agronomic significance. Methods and Results: Based on their morphological and biochemical characteristics, the selected isolates PS-1, PS-2 and PS-3 were presumptively identified as Rhizobium, Pseudomonas and Proteus species, respectively. The HPLC analysis of phorate in bioaugmented soil revealed its complete disappearance within 40 days. The degradation isotherms of the isolates PS-1, PS-2 and PS-3 suggested time-dependent disappearance of phorate following the first-order rate kinetics at the corresponding rate constants of 0.04, 0.05 and 0.04 d,1. Besides, the isolates concurrently exhibited substantial phosphate solubilization, indole acetic acid (IAA) and siderophore production, as well as limited biocontrol activity against fungal phytopathogens. Conclusions, Significance and Impact of the Study: The data revealed the potential of isolates for collateral plant growth promotion, biocontrol and bioremediation. The selected strains may serve as an important bioresource for development of effective super-bioinoculants. [source]


Low-temperature study of 3-acetylindole at 110,K

ACTA CRYSTALLOGRAPHICA SECTION C, Issue 7 2008
Barbara Hachu
The title compound, C10H9NO, contains an acetyl group that is nearly coplanar with the indole ring system, with an angle between the planes of the heterocyclic ring and the acetyl group of 1.75,(17)°. The planes of the benzene and pyrrole rings in the indole system make a dihedral angle of 2.05,(11)°. Each molecule in the unit cell is linked through N,H...O hydrogen bonds to two other molecules, forming hydrogen-bonded chains in the [101] direction with graph set C(6). The significance of this study lies in the analysis of the interactions occurring via hydrogen bonds in this structure, as well as in the comparison drawn between the molecular structure of the title compound and those of several other indole derivatives possessing a 3-carbonyl group. The correlation between the IR spectrum of this compound and the structural data is also discussed. [source]
