Why are these articles significant?
• New routes to functionalized indoles: - significant for natural product and pharmaceutical drug synthesis
• Cacchi’s group developed a simple approach to 2-(aminomethyl)indoles and the important class of 2-(piperazin-1-ylmethyl)indoles
• Smith’s group developed a new synthesis of tetracyclic indoles via a Stille cross- coupling/Buckwald-Hartwig union/cyclization

Synthesis and Functionalization of Indoles
• Classical methods (over last 100 years):
- Fisher synthesis - Gassman synthesis - Madelung cyclization - Bischler synthesis
• Palladium-catalyzed syntheses (over last 40 years):
- industrial synthesis of acetaldehyde from ethylene (PdCl2 and CuCl2) launched a new area of research - fewer steps, less waste, etc.

A New Modular Indole Synthesis. Construction of the HighlyStrained CDEF Parent Tetracycle of Nodulisporic Acids A & B
(Smith et al., ASAP)
Nodulisporanes: - a novel class of indole diterpene alkaloids - display potent insecticidal properties (i.e., fleas and ticks) - modulation of the invertebrate-specific glutamate-gated chloride ion channels
- Nodulisporic acid A – first reported by Merck in 1997 as a lead compound (potentcy, stability and pharmacokinetic profile was not optimal!)

Summary of New Indole Methodologies
• Cacchi’s group developed a simple approach to 2-(aminomethyl)indoles and 2-(piperazin-1-ylmethyl)indoles under mild conditions in a single operation - high product yields - application to functionalized indoles
• Smith’s group developed a new indole synthesis via a Stille/Hartwig-Buchwald coupling using mild conditions - application to structurally diverse indoles, especially novel tricyclic systems
