ABSTRACT:

It was mentioned earlier in this chapter that a large number of compounds containing indole nucleus have been patented, as chemotherapeutic agents, antimicrobial, cytotoxic, anti-inflammatory, antitumor, anti-convulsant, antitubercular and anti-HIV. A wide range of indole derivatives were investigated using different conditions. In the present work we synthesized various indole derivatives which are given below in scheme-1.1 and summarized in after the scheme.

 

KEYWORDS: Anti-HIV, Chemotherapeutic agents, Anti-tumor, Anti-inflammatory, Anti-convulsant, Antitubercular.

 


 

INTRODUCTION:

Indole nucleus is present as a structural unit in many natural products. Indoles are a pervasive class of compounds found in abundance in biologically active compounds such as pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals and alkaloids. Indole derivatives have, therefore, captured the attention of organic synthetic chemists. Medicine and biochemistry are also interested in many aspects of indole chemistry. A number of indole derivatives are reported to exhibit antibacterial, antifungal, anti-tuberculosis, antithrombotic, anticancer, anti-inflammatory and CNS depressant activities. The indole alkaloids constitute the biggest single class of the alkaloids and account for about 20% of all known alkaloids.1, 2

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION:

This research article presents a stepwise procedure for the synthesis of various indole derivatives. The aim of this researc  is to show how 4BPP001-4BPP029 synthesized following the scheme 1.1 The intermediate 2BPP005 undergoes Fischer-indolization to give key intermediate 4BPP001. The compound 4BPP001 undergo different reaction conditions viz. methylation, amidation, Suzuki coupling reaction and acid amine coupling reaction to get the final indole derivatives 4BPP002-4BPP029 respectively.

 

In the scheme-1.1, the reaction of compound 4BPP001 with methyl iodide in presence of K2CO3 gave a compound 4BPP002. In the second reaction of compound 4BPP001 with NH4Cl in presence of Py-BOP and HOBT in basic condition gave the compound 4BPP003. After the reaction, the bromo substituted phenyl ring was remains as it is. So we have try to react that bromo substituted phenyl ring with different alkyl and aryl boronic acid under Suzuki condition (Pd2dba3, X-phos, Na2CO3, ACN: H2O) in microwave to afford various Suzuki coupled product 4BPP004-4BPP024. Finally we had concentrated on acid substituted phenyl ring in that we have coupled free acid group of 4BPP001 with different five amines in presence of EDC.HCl, HOBT in basic medium to afford acid amine coupled product 4BPP025-4BPP029.
