An efficient strategy for the construction of both C(3)-N(1') bisindoles and C(3)-N(1') diindolylmethane has been explored via proper tuning of the nucleophilicity of indoline/indole to spiro-epoxyoxindole. Lewis acid-catalyzed highly regio- as well as chemoselective coupling at the C-3 centre of spiro-epoxyoxindoles with indolines furnishes C(3)-N(1') bisindoles whereas base mediated and Lewis acid-catalyzed regioselective coupling at the less hindered site of spiro-epoyoxindoles with indoles via the S2 mechanism provides C(3)-N(1') diindolylmethane.
通过适当调节吲哚啉/吲哚的亲核性,探索了一种构建 C(3)-N(1') 双吲哚和 C(3)-N(1') 二吲哚甲烷的有效策略。路易斯酸催化的 spiro-环氧吲哚与吲哚啉在 C-3 中心的高区域和化学选择性偶联,生成 C(3)-N(1') 双吲哚,而碱介导和路易斯酸催化的通过 S2 机制在 spiro-环氧吲哚的非位阻位点与吲哚的区域选择性偶联提供了 C(3)-N(1') 二吲哚甲烷。
