Removal of the Pyrrolidine Group by Dehydrogenation of a 4-Pyrrolidin-2-yl-tetrahydroisoquinoline
Dehydrogenation of 6,7-dimethoxy-1-methyl-4-(N-methyl-pyrrolidin-2-yl)-3,4-dihydroisoquinoline (9) by Pd/C in tetraline leads to dehydrogenated products, rearrangement, and elimination of the pyrrolidine group mainly as N-methylpyrrolidine (Scheme 3).

yl)-3,4-dihydroisochinolin (9) mit Pd/C in Tetralin führt zu dehydrierten
Produkten, zur Umlagerung und zur Abspaltung der Pyrrolidingruppe

Enantioselective synthesis and biological investigation of tetrahydro‐β‐carboline‐based HDAC6 inhibitors with improved solubility
Aberrant epigenetic changes in DNA methylation and histone modification by acetylation or deacetylation regulate the pathogenesis of many diseases. Especially selective inhibitors are getting more and more attention. We recently reported on a new class of potent and selective anti-inflammatory and antirheumatic histone deacetylase 6 (HDAC6) inhibitors (e.g., Marbostat-100). The attachment of a morpholinoethoxy part to the head group dramatically enhances the solubility, in particular the solubility in aqueous solutions, of the lead compound Marbostat-100. Here, we present the enantioselective synthesis of small-molecule compounds based on the tetrahydro-beta-carboline core system with improved solubility, and the influence of the stereochemistry on the biological activity. The enantiomers were synthesized in good enantiomeric excess (ee) purity and were potent and selective HDAC6 inhibitors, whereas the S-derivative S-21 is clearly the eutomer. The potency of our selective HDAC6 inhibitors is demonstrated by K-i values in the range of 0.5-2 nM toward HDAC6, and the selectivity was proved in cellular assays by Western blot analysis taking ac-tubulin as surrogate parameter
Synthesis of the Racemates of the b-Carboline Alkaloid Chrysotricine and its Diastereomer
Synthesis of arcyriarubine regioisomers by Pd(0)-catalysis or via lithiated indole derivatives - conformational analysis by semiempirical and X-ray methods
Regioisomers of arcyriarubines were synthesized by the reaction of N-protected indoles with dibromomaleimide either in the presence of a Pd(0)-catalyst or n-BuLi. Methods for N-alkylation of these bisindolylmaleimides and deprotection of the indole-N are described. The structure of the bisindolylmaleimide I (R = R1 = R2 = H) was studied by semiempiric quantum-chem. calcns., the structure of its deriv. I (R = CH2CH2Br, R1 = SO2Ph, R2 = H) was ascertained by X-ray anal
Homo-arcyriaflavin: The synthesis of ring-expanded arcyriaflavin analogs
The construction of the ring-expanded carbazole system, forming arcyriaflavin homologues, is efficiently accomplished by the reaction of 2,2'-bridged bis-indoles with 3,4-dibromo-2,5-dihydro-1H-2,5-pyrroledione derivs. under Grignard conditions. A ring size of up to nine members in the central ring is achievable. Substitutions either at the indole system or at the imide-N are also possible. The conformation of homoarcyriaflavins as a cross-link between the rigid arcyriaflavins and the flexible arcyriarubins was investigated by NMR, X-ray, and semiempiric quantum chem. calcn. methods
