Misal Castro, Luis C.; Sultan, Ibrahim; Nishi, Kohei; Tsurugi, Hayato; Mashima, Kazushi published their research in Journal of Organic Chemistry in 2021. The article was titled 《Direct Synthesis of Indoles from Azoarenes and Ketones with Bis(neopentylglycolato)diboron Using 4,4′-Bipyridyl as an Organocatalyst》.Safety of 1-Methyl-4-piperidone The article contains the following contents:
Multifunctionalized indole derivatives were prepared by reducing azoarenes in the presence of ketones and bis(neopentylglycolato)diboron (B2nep2) with a catalytic amount of 4,4′-bipyridyl under neutral reaction conditions, where 4,4′-bipyridyl acted as an organocatalyst to activate the B-B bond of B2nep2 and form N,N’-diboryl-1,2-diarylhydrazines as a key intermediate. Further reaction of N,N’-diboryl-1,2-diarylhydrazines with ketones afforded N-vinyl-1,2-diarylhydrazines, which rearranged to the corresponding indoles via the Fischer indole mechanism. This organocatalytic system was applied to diverse alkyl cyclic ketones, dialkyl, and alkyl/aryl ketones, including heteroatoms. Me alkyl ketones gave the corresponding 2-methyl-3-substituted indoles in a regioselective manner. This protocol allowed us to expand the preparation of indoles having high compatibility with not only electron-donating and electron-withdrawing groups but also N- and O-protecting functional groups. In the part of experimental materials, we found many familiar compounds, such as 1-Methyl-4-piperidone(cas: 1445-73-4Safety of 1-Methyl-4-piperidone)
1-Methyl-4-piperidone(cas: 1445-73-4) is a member of piperidine. Piperidine is a key saturated heterocyclic scaffold found in several of the top-selling small molecule pharmaceuticals and natural alkaloids, with a diverse range of biological activities. Hence, continuous efforts have been made to develop convenient methods to prepare piperidine derivatives.Safety of 1-Methyl-4-piperidone
