Diindolylmethane (DIM) and its derivatives have recently been in the focus of interest due to their significant biol. activities, specifically in cancer prevention and therapy. Mol. targets of DIM have been identified, e.g., the immunostimulatory G protein-coupled receptor GPR84. However, most of the reported and investigated DIM derivatives are sym. because general methods for obtaining unsym. DIMs have been lacking. To optimize the interaction of DIM derivatives with their protein targets, unsym. substitution is required. In the present study we developed a new, mild and efficient access to unsym. substituted 3,3′-DIMs by reaction of (3-indolylmethyl)trimethylammonium iodides with a wide range of substituted indole derivatives 7-Azaindole also led to the 3,3′-connected DIM analog, while 4- and 5-azaindoles reacted at the N1-nitrogen atom as confirmed by X-ray crystallog. The reactions were performed in water without the requirement of a catalyst or other additives. Wide substrate scope, operational simplicity, environmentally benign workup, and high yields are further advantages of the new method. The synthetic protocol proved to be suitable for upscaling to yield gram amounts for pharmacol. studies. This procedure will allow the preparation of a broad range of novel, unsym. DIM derivatives to exploit their potential as novel drugs. In the experiment, the researchers used many compounds, for example, 6-(Trifluoromethyl)-1H-indole (cas: 13544-43-9Synthetic Route of C9H6F3N).
6-(Trifluoromethyl)-1H-indole (cas: 13544-43-9) belongs to indole derivatives. Indole exists overwhelmingly in the 1H-indole form as do other simple indoles. In addition to indole, the strain-release chemistry worked for numerous substrates including amines, alcohols, thiols, carboxylic acids, imidazoles, and pyrazoles.Synthetic Route of C9H6F3N
