Article Abstract
Slowly does it! By adding the substrate by a syringe pump, a highly efficient Friedel-Crafts reaction of 4,7-dihydroindoles with nitroolefins was realized with 0.5 mol % of a chiral phosphoric acid. The Friedel-Crafts alkylation, together with a subsequent oxidation of the product, led to 2-substituted indoles in excellent enantiomeric excesses, which can be easily transformed to enantioenriched tetrahydro-gamma-carbolines.

Developing three-dimensional composite materials with high adsorption capacity, environmentally friendliness, and facile processability is essential for removing organic dyes from wastewater and enhancing ecological protection. In this study, a Friedel-Crafts alkylation reaction was employed to introduce multiple double bonds into the benzene ring of dopamine hydrochloride monomer, resulting in dopamine triacrylamide (DAHAM) compounds. Dopamine triacrylamide crosslinked chitosan (CTS)/polyacrylic acid (PAA) cryogels (CTS/PAA@DAHAM) were prepared to achieve efficient and specific adsorption of anionic dyes.

The Friedel-Crafts acylation of arenes is a fundamental reaction extensively employed in both academic research and industrial applications. A significant limitation of this reaction is the requirement for stoichiometric amounts of Lewis acid catalysts, which are typically sensitive and generate considerable waste. In this study, we present an improved catalytic approach for the Friedel-Crafts acylation of activated arenes.

Alginate- and -carrageenan-supported imidazolidinone catalysts were newly prepared, and their catalytic activities for the Friedel-Crafts alkylation of 1-methylindole with crotonaldehyde were evaluated. The enantiomeric excess of the product was enhanced by using the polymer-supported catalysts consisting of an appropriate absolute configuration of imidazolidinones and alginate/-carrageenan the cooperative effect that constructs a chiral environment more suited for asymmetric induction compared to imidazolidinone only. Further, the polymer-supported catalysts were easily removed from the reaction media by a simple filtration technique.

A series of 3-hydroxykynurenic acid derivatives bearing a halogen atom in different positions are synthesized by hydroamination of methyl acetylenedicarboxylate with haloanilines, in an aza-Michael type reaction. Subsequent heterocyclization with Eaton's reagent yields halo-substituted kynurenic acid (KA) methyl esters via an intramolecular Friedel-Crafts reaction. Finally, the hydroxylation is achieved by the Elbs oxidation.
