Halooxindoles are versatile building blocks for the construction of complex oxindole-containing targets biological importance. Despite their synthetic value, catalytic methods to make 3-halooxindoles from readily available starting materials have remained undisclosed. We recently discovered that chloroperoxidase Curvularia inaequalis (CiVCPO) is a viable catalyst decarboxylative bromooxidation 3-carboxyindoles furnish 3-bromooxindoles with excellent regio- and chemoselectivity. In addition...
Halogenated heteroarenes are key building blocks across numerous chemical industries. Here, we report that vanadium haloperoxidases capable of producing 3-haloindoles through decarboxylative halogenation 3-carboxyindoles. This biocatalytic method is applicable to chlorination, bromination, and iodination in moderate high yields with excellent chemoselectivity.
