Abstract

The Horner-Wittig reaction of 4-oxo-4,5,6,7-tetrahydroindoles with (EtO)2P(O)CH2CN and (EtO)2P(O)CH2CO2Et yielded respectively 4-(cyanomethylidene)- and 4-(ethoxycarbonylmethylidene)-4,5,6,7-tetrahydroindoles, which were catalytically dehydrogenated to 4-(cyanomethyl)- and 4-(ethoxycarbonylmethyl)indoles.

■ Utilization of Protopine and Related Alkaloids. XVIII. Some Reactions of Anhydroisodihydrocorycavidine and Its N-Oxide

Hiroshi Takahshi, Mieko Iguchi, Yaeko Konda, and Masayuki Onda*

*School of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Kitasato University, 5-9-1, Shirokane, Minato-ku, Tokyo 108-8641, Japan

Abstract

Hydroxylation of anhydroisodihydrocorycavidine 4 with osmium tetroxide affords the α-glycol 7 and the 13,14-seco keto aldehyde 8. Treatment of the N-oxide 6 with acetic anhydride/acetic acid gives the 7,8-seco diacetate 10 and the indene acetate 11. The formation paths to these products are briefly discussed.

Abstract

(E)-1,2-Bis(2,2’-bithiophene-5-yl)ethylene and (E)-1,2-bis(2,2’:5’,2”-terthiophene-5-yl)ethylene were synthesized by reductive coupling reaction of 2,2’-bithiophene-5-carbaldehyde and 2,2’:5’,2”-terthiophene-5-carbaldehyde, respectively, using a low-valent titanium reagent prepared from titanium(IV) chloride and zinc powder in tetrahydrofuran.
