Lewis-acid cascade reactions promoted by BF3路OEt2 are reported for the synthesis of highly substituted pyrrolo[1,2-a]indoles and congeners of benzofuro[2,3-b]indoles. These reactions are highly regio- and diastereoselective towards generating up to five contiguous stereogenic centers, including two vicinal quaternary centers. Furthermore, an established cascade approach and the mechanism proposed herein are well supported by quantum chemistry calculations. In addition, a self-dimerization intermediate was trapped and isolated to establish a strategy for potential access to both pyrrolo and benzo indole derivatives, leaving sufficient freedom for broadening. Furthermore, in-silico molecular docking and all atomistic molecular dynamic (MD) simulation analysis suggests that the synthesized pyrrolo[1,2-a]indole derivatives stably bind at the active site of the mycobacterial secreted tyrosine phosphatase B (MptpB) enzyme, an emerging anti-mycobacterial drug target. Deep learning-based affinity predictions and MMPBGBSA-based energy calculations of the docked poses are presented herein.

Organic & Biomolecular Chemistry

Organic & Biomolecular Chemistry (OBC) publishes original and high impact research and reviews in organic chemistry. We welcome research that shows new or significantly improved protocols or methodologies in total synthesis, synthetic methodology or physical and theoretical organic chemistry as well as research that shows a significant advance in the organic chemistry or molecular design aspects of chemical biology, catalysis, supramolecular and macromolecular chemistry, theoretical chemistry, mechanism-oriented physical organic chemistry, medicinal chemistry or natural products. Articles published in the journal should report new work which makes a highly-significant impact in the field. Routine and incremental work is generally not suitable for publication in the journal. More details about key areas of our scope are below. In all cases authors should include in their article clear rationale for why their research has been carried out.
