Copper-Mediated Decarboxylative Coupling of 3-Indoleacetic Acids with Sulfoxonium Ylides for the Synthesis of α-Acetoxyl Ketones
The most convenient and direct method of synthesizing an α-acyloxy ketone is the reaction of a diazo compound with a carboxylic acid via O–H insertion. However, due to the limitations in preparing and storing diazo compounds, the application of this method is restricted. In this study, Cu(OAc)2-mediated (OAc = acetate) decarboxylative coupling reactions of 3-indoleacetic acids with sulfoxonium ylides were developed for use in rapidly synthesizing α-acetoxyl ketones. In this reaction, Cu(OAc)2 was not only used as an oxidant, but also as acetate ion source. Notably, when 5-methoxy-2-methyl-3-indoleacetic acid reacted with different sulfoxonium ylides, the corresponding products exhibited fluorescence, and furthermore, several products displayed antiproliferative activities against various human cancer cell lines.
期刊介绍:
Organic Letters invites original reports of fundamental research in all branches of the theory and practice of organic, physical organic, organometallic,medicinal, and bioorganic chemistry. Organic Letters provides rapid disclosure of the key elements of significant studies that are of interest to a large portion of the organic community. In selecting manuscripts for publication, the Editors place emphasis on the originality, quality and wide interest of the work. Authors should provide enough background information to place the new disclosure in context and to justify the rapid publication format. Back-to-back Letters will be considered. Full details should be reserved for an Article, which should appear in due course.
