| Research Abstract |
We have opened the new door to the virgin territory of "the chemistry of 1-hydroxyindoles" and established it as an intellectual property of Japan. In the course of extending the chemistry, we have developed various new findings and new reactions.
1.Creation of 1-Hydroxyindoles
We have given birth to various new 1-hydroxyindole compounds thus far unknown. Especially, 1-hydroxy-tryptophan and -tryptamine derivatives are important. They undergo nucleophilic substitution reactions on the indole nitrogen.
2.Discovery of dimerization of 1-hydroxymelatonin.
The reaction was applied successfully to make 3a,3a'-bispyrrolo[2,3-b]indole nucleus. This new reaction has been attempted to apply for the synthesis of biologically active calabar indole alkaloids, which are expected to be lead compounds for Altzheimer's diseases. The synthesis is now in the final stage.
3.Nucleophilic substitution reactions on in dole nucleus
This unprecedented new reactions are discovered for the first time. Applying the reactions, various kinds of building blocks, including 2-substituted indoles, thus far hardly accessible by the conventional chemistry, become readily available.
