4.7.1 Indole
Problem 98: Formation of 2,3-Disubstituted Indole
3-(2-Carboxyethyl)-1H-indole-2-carboxylic acid derivatives are antagonists of the
strychnine-insensitive glycine [286, 287] and GPR17 [288]. The synthesis of those
2,3-disubstituted indoles is based on Japp-Klingemann condensation followed by
Fischer indole synthesis [289]. Recently, a series of MCL-1 inhibitors were prepared
from 2,3-disubstituted indoles, such as compound 3. In a patent application [290],
compound 3 was prepared from aniline 1 and ethyl 2-oxocyclopentane-1-carboxyl-
ate 2 as shown below.
Please suggest a mechanism for the transformation from 1 to 3.

4.7 Formation of Bicyclic and Polycyclic Aromatic Heterocycles 249
Experimental Procedure (from WO2019/096922, A1)
Ethyl-7-bromo-3-(3-ethoxy-3-oxopropyl)-6-fluoro-1 H-indole-2-carboxylate
(3). To a stirred solution of 2-bromo-3-fluoroaniline 1 (CAS 111721-75-6, 9.50 g,
50.0 mmol, 1.00 eq.) in an aqueous hydrochloric acid solution (12.5 mL conc. HCI
in 80.0 mL of water, 150 mmol, 3.00 eq.) was added dropwise a 2.5 M solution of
sodium nitrite (20.0 mL, 50.0 mmol, 1.00 eq.) in water at a temperature of 0 °C.
After complete addition, a 4.5 M solution of sodium acetate in water (62.4 mL,
281 mmol, 5.62 eq.) was added via dropping funnel, followed by dropwise addition of
ethyl-2-oxocyclopentanecarboxylate 2 (CAS 611-10-9, 7.40 mL, 50.0 mmol, 1.00 eq.).
The resulting yellow suspension was maintained at 0 °C for 15 minutes and then
warmed to room temperature and stirred for 2 hours. The reaction mixture was
extracted thrice with DCM (100 mL each) and the combined organic extracts were
dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure
to give the crude hydrazone as a red oil (18.1 g). The residue was dissolved in eth-
anol (50.0 mL, 1.00 M), after which sulfuric acid (6.63 mL, 125 mmol, 2.50 eq.) was
added dropwise. The dark orange solution was heated at 95 °C for 6 days and then
cooled to room temperature. The dark brown solution was poured onto ice/water
(200 mL) and extracted thrice with DCM (200 mL each). The combined organic
extracts were washed with saturated aqueous bicarbonate solution (200 mL), dried
over magnesium sulfate, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure to give
a brown solid. The residue was purified by flash column chromatography (0–30%
ethyl acetate/hexane gradient) and then recrystallized from hot ethyl acetate/
hexane (9 : 1) to give the title compound as a light yellow solid (8.35 g, 42%). R
f
=
0.22 (15% ethyl acetate/hexane, UV).
The Mechanism
The first stage is a Sandmeyer diazotization of the aniline 1 followed by the addition
of the deprotonated form of 2 to the N ≡ N triple bond of the diazonium salt A
to give intermediate B. Under the basic condition and the participation of sodium
acetate, B undergoes retro-Dieckmann reaction to generate the ester acid C. C is
isomerized to D and E, then a Fischer indole synthesis, and meanwhile esterifica-
tion of the terminal acid, leads to the product 3.

The Mechanism
The reaction in question was originally developed by an Italian research group in
1989 [293]. The same group also investigated the mechanism of this reaction, which
can be outlined as follows [294]: In the initial step, the Grignard reagent targets
the oxygen atoms of the nitroarene, forming intermediate A. A second equivalent
of the Grignard reagent then reduces intermediate A to produce the N-aryl-O-
vinylhydroxylamino magnesium salt B. This intermediate undergoes a [3,3]-
sigmatropic rearrangement, resulting in the formation of compound C. Subsequently,
a rapid ring closure occurs, generating the bicyclic salt D. A third equivalent of

the Grignard reagent acts as a base on this bicyclic intermediate, facilitating the
re-aromatization of the six-membered ring. Finally, an acidic aqueous workup, fol-
lowed by the elimination of water, yields the indole product 3.
Problem 100: Deprotection of 2-Hydroxylethyl from Indole Derivative
PNU-142731A (3) is a potential lead compound as a treatment for asthma in
Pharmacia. In a process chemistry, the protection group 2-hydroxylethyl in
compound 1 was removed by the reactions as shown below [295].
Please suggest a mechanism for the deprotection.
Experimental Procedure (from Org. Process Res. Dev., 2001, 5, 144)
2,4-Di-1-pyrrolidinyl-5H-pyrimido[4,5-b]indole (2). A stirred, 10 °C solu-
tion of hydroxyethyl intermediate 1 (125 g, 0.36 mol) and triethylamine (36.4 g,
0.36 mol) in 2000 mL of CH

, added over 30 min. After an addi-
tional 30 min, TLC analysis showed a small amount of 1 remaining, and therefore,
an additional 5 mL of Et
3
N and 1 mL of MsCl were added, and stirring at 10°
was continued for 15 min. The reaction mixture was then poured into 1 L of 10%
aqueous sodium bicarbonate and extracted thoroughly with CH
2
Cl
2
. The extracts
were washed with brine, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, and concentrated,
thereby affording the crude solid mesylate. This material (containing small amounts
of Et
3
N) was used directly in the cyanide displacement/elimination which follows.
(For other purposes, residual triethylamine and trace by-products could easily be
removed from the mesylate by trituration with 60/40 EtOAc/hexane.)
A solution of the above mesylate and sodium cyanide (186 g, 3.8 mol) in DMSO
(3.3 L) and water (300 mL) was heated at 115 °C for 12 h. Approximately two-thirds
of the DMSO was then removed in vacuo (bath temperature 100 °C), and the
residue was cooled to 25 °C and partitioned between CH

4.7 Formation of Bicyclic and Polycyclic Aromatic Heterocycles 253
The Mechanism
The primary alcohol 1 is converted to mesylate A. Then the OMs is substituted by
CN to form B. Finally, acrylonitrile is eliminated via a retro-Michael reaction at
basic condition to give product 2.
Couty’s group reported a similar removal of hydroxyethyl group from tertiary
amines [296]. Due to the phenyl attached to the hydroxyethyl moiety, the
retro-Michael reaction was carried at room temperature. Without the phenyl attach-
ment, the reaction did not work at the conditions.

4.7.2 Indolizine
Problem 101: Access to 2-Iodoindolizines via Iodine-Mediated Cyclization of
2-pyridylallenes
Indolizines are key motifs in many biologically active compounds [297, 298].
Martinez et al. reported a straightforward preparation of 2-iodoindolizines via
iodine-mediated cyclization of 2-pyridylallenes [299]. An example is shown below.
Please propose a mechanism for this reaction.

(1.0 g, 3.07 mmol, 1 equiv), iodine (1.56 g, 6.15 mmol, 2 equiv.), and potassium car-
bonate (850 mg, 6.15 mmol, 2 equiv) in acetonitrile (61 mL) was heated at 70 °C over
20 h. The mixture was quenched with a 5 w% aqueous NaHSO
3
solution (50 mL). The
solid was filtered, washed with a 5 w% aqueous NaHSO
3
solution (2 × 25 mL), and
dried under high vacuum to afford compound 2 as a green solid (1.11 g, 92% yield).

Problem 102: Oxidative Rearrangement of Carboline to Quinolone
R301249 (RWJ387273) and R290629 (RWJ444772) are two PDE-V inhibitors active in
the treatment of erectile dysfunction. In a synthesis of those compounds, oxidation
of β-carboline 1 with dimethyldioxirane, generated in situ from Oxone and acetone,
followed by further oxidation with mCPBA gave the desired keto-lactam 2 and an
impurity hydroxy ketone 3 [300]. Intramolecular condensation of 2 provided qui-
nolone 4.

was stirred for another 2 h at 51 to 42 °C. Water (18 mL) was added, and the layers
were separated while keeping the temperature at 35–40 °C. To the organic layer, ace-
tone (107 mL) was added, and the mixture was cooled to 20–25 °C. Subsequently,
water (36 mL) and NaHCO
3
(4.82 g, 0.057 mol) were added, and the mixture was
further cooled to 0–5 °C. A solution of oxone (15.5 g, 0.025 mol) in water (60 mL)
was added by means of a dosing pump over a 2 h period at 0–5 °C. After the addition
was complete, the mixture was stirred for another 2 h at 0–5 °C. Subsequently, a
solution of m-chloroperbenzoic acid 71% (5.34 g, 0.217 mol) in DCM (62 mL) was
added in 15 min at 0–5 °C. The mixture was stirred for another 1.5 h at 0–5 °C and
then washed successively with water (76 mL) and with a solution of NaHCO
3
(6 g)
in water (76 mL). After checking for peroxides, the organic layer was evaporated
to nearly dryness, and the resulting oily residue was crystallized from ethyl acetate
(40 mL). After stirring for 18 h at 10–25 °C the precipitate was filtered, washed with
ethyl acetate (2 mL), and dried in vacuo at 50 °C for 20 h yielding 3 g (36.5%) of
the title compound.

The Mechanism
The first step is an epoxidation of the 2,3-double bond of indole in 1 by dimethyldiox-
irane, generated in situ from acetone and Oxone. The epoxide A in turn rearranges
to hydroxy-imine B. Further oxidation of the imine with mCPBA gives the peracid
ester C. Subsequently, cleavage of the 2,3-C─C bond provides the keto-lactam 2.
Once the epoxide A is formed, the elimination of a proton could also take place
from the piperidine side to generate the enamine D. Then the double bond is further

2H-indazoles as pharmacophores in drug discovery has been exemplified in sev-

reagent [301]. For example, (E)-1-(2-nitrophenyl)-N-phenylmethanimine 1 is trans-
formed into 2-phenyl-2H-indazole 2 in 87% yield.
