Abstract
p-TsOH catalyzed [3+2] cycloaddition of 3-benzoylvinylindoles with 3-hydroxy-3-(indol-3-yl)indolin-2-ones in acetonitrile gave functionalized 3,4-dihydrospiro[cyclopenta[b]indole-1,3′-indolin]-2′-ones in good yields and with high diastereoselectivity. In the presence of FeCl3, the similar reaction of 3-benzoylvinylindoles with 3-hydroxy-3-(indol-3-yl)indolin-2-ones in toluene afforded dehydrogenated spiro[cyclopenta[b]indole-1,3′-indolin]-2′-ones in good yields. On the other hand, p-TsOH catalyzed [3+2] cycloaddition of 3-benzoylvinylindoles and 2-hydroxy-2-(indol-3-yl)-indene-1,3-diones gave 3,4-dihydrospiro[cyclopenta[b]indole-1,2′-indene]-1′,3′-diones, which could be oxidized to dehydrogenated spiro[cyclopenta[b]indole-1,2′-indene]-1′,3′-diones by 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyano-1,4-benzoquinone (DDQ).
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Molecular Structure is dedicated to the publication of full-length articles and review papers, providing important new structural information on all types of chemical species including:
• Stable and unstable molecules in all types of environments (vapour, molecular beam, liquid, solution, liquid crystal, solid state, matrix-isolated, surface-absorbed etc.)
• Chemical intermediates
• Molecules in excited states
• Biological molecules
• Polymers.
The methods used may include any combination of spectroscopic and non-spectroscopic techniques, for example:
• Infrared spectroscopy (mid, far, near)
• Raman spectroscopy and non-linear Raman methods (CARS, etc.)
• Electronic absorption spectroscopy
• Optical rotatory dispersion and circular dichroism
• Fluorescence and phosphorescence techniques
• Electron spectroscopies (PES, XPS), EXAFS, etc.
• Microwave spectroscopy
• Electron diffraction
• NMR and ESR spectroscopies
• Mössbauer spectroscopy
• X-ray crystallography
• Charge Density Analyses
• Computational Studies (supplementing experimental methods)
We encourage publications combining theoretical and experimental approaches. The structural insights gained by the studies should be correlated with the properties, activity and/ or reactivity of the molecule under investigation and the relevance of this molecule and its implications should be discussed.
