Several investigators have studied intramolecular Heck reactions on alkene-tethered haloindoles. Black prepared several l-allyl-7-bromoindoles and found that they undergo cyclization in the presence of palladium as shown for 242 to 243 [267]. Although this new synthesis of pyrroloquinolines is reasonably general, some of the products are unstable. Substrate 242 was prepared by bromination of 4,6-dimethoxy-2,3-diphenylindole (92%) and //-alkylation. 

However, pyrroloquinolines and pyridoacridines are the alkaloids of major interest as metabolites in sponges and ascidians [227], Many of these compounds have generated interest both as challenging problems for structure elucidation and synthesis as well as for their cytotoxicities [228-230],... 

Pyrroloquinoline quinone, and probably also the other quinone cofactors, can be considered to be medium-potential oxidants (Em PQQ/PQQH2, 0.09 V (NHE) aq., pH 7), as distinguished from high-potential quinones that are of use as oxidants in organic synthesis [13], In addition, PQQ will resist competing nucleophilic 1,4-additions of organic reductants as is observed with less heavily substituted quinones.

An attempt is made in this review to discuss the practical utility of the various synthetic approaches to azaindoles and to organize their properties. The only benzo derivatives to be considered are a few pyrroloquinolines. The pyridoindoles, or carbolines, have been extensively reviewed. A brief review on the synthesis of azaindoles has been published. ...

Methoxatin is an enzyme cofactor of bacteria which metabolises methanol and latterly was recognized, 55 years after the 13th, to be a 14th vitamin, also now referred to as pyrroloquinoline qninone (PQQ)- This total synthesis is a particnlarly instrnctive one since it inclndes an isatin synthesis (20.16.4), a quinoline synthesis and an indole synthesis. 

PQQ = pyrroloquinoline quinone). The synthesis of its triester J is achieved by the following sequence based on 2-methoxy-5-nitroaniline (X) ... 

Yamamura et al. developed an efficient route to the synthesis of the A, B, C, D, and E rings of the prianosins and discorhabdins, which led them successfully to synthesize discorhabdin C (Scheme 59) (210-212). Because their route involves the synthesis of the pyrroloquinoline skeleton of the pyrroloquinoline type alkaloids (213-217), they have also achieved the synthesis of batzelline C and isobatzelline C (213,214). Their synthesis involved first the construction of the C, D, and E rings as in 505, starting from 502, which was synthesized in three steps (212). Reaction of 502 with...
