  • a scalable Nenitzescu Synthesis of 2 methyl 4 trifluoromethyl 1h indole 5 carbonitrile
    Journal of Heterocyclic Chemistry, 2011
    Co-Authors: Eric E. Boros, Istvan Kaldor, Philip Turnbull
    Abstract:

    2-Methyl-4-(trifluoromethyl)-1H-indole-5-carbonitrile is a key intermediate in the Synthesis of selective androgen receptor modulators discovered in these laboratories. A practical and convergent Synthesis of the title compound starting from 4-nitro-3-(trifluoromethyl)phenol and tert-butyl acetoacetate was developed, including a telescoped procedure for Synthesis (without isolation) and Nenitzescu reaction of 2-trifluoromethyl-1,4-benzoquinone. Conversion of the known Nenitzescu indole product to a novel triflate intermediate followed by palladium-catalyzed cyanation afforded a penultimate carbonitrile. Removal of the C-3 tert-butyl ester group on the indole through a decarboxylative pathway completed the Synthesis of the title compound in six steps (27% overall yield) from 4-nitro-3-(trifluoromethyl)phenol (five steps, 37% overall yield from tert-butyl acetoacetate). J. Heterocyclic Chem., (2011).

  • The role of a Lewis acid in the Nenitzescu indole Synthesis
    Tetrahedron Letters, 2008
    Co-Authors: Valeriya S. Velezheva, Andrey I. Sokolov, Albert G. Kornienko, Konstantin A. Lyssenko, Yulia V. Nelyubina, Ivan A. Godovikov, Alexander S. Peregudov, Andrey F. Mironov
    Abstract:

    Abstract A highly efficient Lewis acid-catalyzed method for the Nenitzescu Synthesis of 5-hydroxyindoles with a range of substituents at N-1 and C-3 and symmetric 5,5′-dihydroxydiindoles has been developed. The amount of the catalyst (10–100 mol %) required depended on the nature of the enaminone component. It has been shown that Lewis acid plays a role in enaminone component activation through an enamine-ZnC12 complex followed by its deprotonation.
