A new and efficient method for the direct regioselective C2-amidation of various functionalized indoles with several N-(2,4,6-trichlorobenzoyloxy)amides via Rh(III)-catalyzed C-H activation/N-O cleavage/C-N formation using the pyrimidyl group as a readily installable and removable directing group has been developed. With this method, a variety of valuable 2-amido indoles can be easily prepared under mild conditions with broad functional group tolerance and excellent region-/site-specificities. The results from biol. evaluation showed that compound I had a partial PPAR缂?agonistic activity and a strong PPAR缂?binding affinity with an IC50 value of 120.0 nM, along with a less pronounced adipocyte differentiation ability compared to the currently marketed anti-diabetic drug rosiglitazone, suggesting that further development of such a compound might be of great interest. In the experiment, the researchers used many compounds, for example, 6-Nitro-1H-indole (cas: 4769-96-4Synthetic Route of C8H6N2O2).
6-Nitro-1H-indole (cas: 4769-96-4) belongs to indole derivatives. The indole subunit is an almost ubiquitous component of biologically active natural products, and its study has been the focus of research for decades. Indole plays a fundamental role for QS in E. coli, being one of the signal molecules responsible for the transcription of a variety of genes (gabT, and tnaB ASTD). Synthetic Route of C8H6N2O2
