Abstract
An efficient and general method for the synthesis of 2- and 3-acylindoles has been achieved with high regioselectivity from o-acylanilines and α-hydroxycarbonyl or its equivalent. The strategy involves the intramolecular trapping of an in situ generated aminoenol intermediate and an interrupted Heyns rearrangement pathway, followed by aromatization or rearrangement/aromatization. Important features include excellent regiocontrol, good functional group tolerance, operational simplicity and application to gram-scale synthesis and the synthesis of an anti-tumor agent.

Abstract
In the present study, we herein report a DDQ-catalyzed new protocol for the synthesis of substituted 3-acylindoles. Being a potential system for virtual hydrogen storage, introduction of catalytic DDQ in combination with Fe(NO3)3·9H2O and molecular oxygen as co-catalysts offers a regioselective oxo-functionalization of C-3 alkyl-/aryllidine indolines even with scale-up investigations. Intermediate isolation, their spectroscopic characterization, and the density functional theory calculations indicate that the method involves dehydrogenative allylic hydroxylation and 1,3-functional group isomerization/aromatization followed by terminal oxidation to afford 3-acylindoles quantitatively with very high regioselectivity. This method is very general for a large number of substrates with varieties of functional groups tolerance emerging high-yield outcome. Moreover, molecular docking studies were performed for some selected ligands with an RNA-dependent RNA polymerase complex (RdRp complex) of SARS-CoV-2 to illustrate the binding potential of those ligands. The docking results revealed that few of the ligands possess the potential to inhibit the RdRp of SARS-Cov-2 with binding energies (-6.7 to -8.19 kcal/mol), which are comparably higher with respect to the reported binding energies of the conventional re-purposed drugs such as Remdesivir, Ribavirin, and so forth (-4 to -7 kcal/mol).

Abstract
Biaryl and indole units are important structural motifs in several bioactive molecules and functional materials. We have accomplished straightforward access to C2-biarylated indole derivatives through palladium-catalyzed C-H activation strategy with a broad range of substrate scope in yields of 24 to 92%. Besides, the UV/visible absorption and fluorescence properties of the ensuing products were explored. The calculated higher dihedral angle and rotational barrier values for the selected C2-biarylated indoles show that these compounds may display atropisomerism at room temperature.

Abstract
Six new bis(indole) alkaloids (1-6) along with eight known ones of the topsentin class were isolated from a Spongosorites sp. sponge of Korea. Based on the results of combined spectroscopic analyses, the structures of spongosoritins A-D (1-4) were determined to possess a 2-methoxy-1-imidazole-5-one core connecting the indole moieties, and these were linked by a linear urea bridge for spongocarbamides A (5) and B (6). The absolute configurations of spongosoritins were assigned by electronic circular dichroism (ECD) computation. The new compounds exhibited moderate inhibition against transpeptidase sortase A and weak inhibition against human pathogenic bacteria and A549 and K562 cancer cell lines.

Abstract
A consecutive 2-step synthesis of N-unprotected polysubstituted indoles bearing an electron-withdrawing group at the C-3 position from readily available nitroarenes is reported. The protocol is based on the [3,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement of N-oxyenamines generated by the DABCO-catalyzed reaction of N-arylhydroxylamines and conjugated terminal alkynes, and delivers indoles endowed with a wide array of substitution patterns and topologies.

Abstract
Five novel quinolizidine-based alkaloids (1-5) were obtained from the seeds of Sophora alopecuroides L. Compounds 1 and 2 are the first examples of sparteine-indolizine and matrine-indolizine alkaloids, respectively, whereas 3 and 4 are epimeric normatrine-julolidine alkaloids with unusual skeletons. The structures of these compounds were determined by spectroscopic methods, single-crystal X-ray diffraction, and electronic circular dichroism analyses. Hypothetical biosynthetic pathways of 1-5 were proposed. Compound 2 exhibited significant antiviral activity against the hepatitis B virus.

Abstract
An efficient copper-catalyzed synthesis of indol-3-yl α-(difluoromethyl)-α-(trifluoromethyl)carbinols is developed. The reaction proceeds in good to excellent yields through a Friedel-Crafts-type mechanism, and a variety of indoles with commonly occurring functional groups such as formyl, cyano, nitro, alkyloxide, and halogen are well tolerated. In addition, these carbinol products are readily transformed into diversified difluoromethylated dinitrile indol-3-yl derivatives. This strategy provides a general synthetic method for ready construction of difluoromethylated sp3 carbon centers.

Abstract
Selective C-H amidation of 1H-indoles at the C3 position is reported as a direct entry to biologically important 3-aminoindoles. This transformation is achieved using novel N-[(benzenesulfonyl)oxy]amides as electrophilic nitrogen agents in the presence of ZnCl2. Interestingly, analogous reactions in the absence of ZnCl2 resulted in the formation of indole aminal products.
