Carbon–hydrogen bond functionalizations provide an attractive method for streamlining
organic synthesis, and many strategies have been developed for conducting these …

The tetrahydrocarbazole (THC) motif is ubiquitous in natural products and biologically active
compounds. THCs can serve as favorable synthetic intermediates or precursors en-route to …

The chiral phosphoric acid catalyzed asymmetric Diels–Alder reactions of 2-vinylindoles
with methyleneindolinones have been established, which efficiently construct the spiro …

Covering: 2010–2011. Previous review: Nat. Prod. Rep. 2010, 27, 1630–1680This review
covers the literature on simple indole alkaloids and those with a non-rearranged …

A visible-light-mediated reaction of indole derivatives employing arylsulfonyl chlorides as
sulfonyl surrogates has been developed, which proceeds via the sequence of reduction of …

An efficient route to 2-oxindoles bearing an all-carbon quaternary center at the
pseudobenzylic position has been developed via a DDQ-mediated Intramolecular …

Abstract The Borsche–Drechsel (BD) cyclization can be treated as a 'special case'of a very
well-known Fischer indole synthesis or so-called Fischer indolization (FI), now and then. To …

Novel asymmetric synthetic routes to (+)-uleine and (−)-tubifolidine are reported herein. The
regioselective formation of enol triflates from 2-azabicyclo [3.3. 1] nonane ketones followed …

Strong as an Ox: 2-Thiazoles and 2-oxazoles are formed by oxidation of 2-thiazolines and 2-
oxazolines without requiring substituents at the C4 and C5 positions. DDQ plays an …
