En route to furostifoline, we synthesized the title compound, C
14H
11NO
2, as a yellow crystalline material, with two independent molecules in the asymmetric unit, related by a
pseudo-centre of inversion; they have an approximately planar conformation, and similar bond lengths and angles. An intramolecular N—H
O hydrogen bond was observed for each molecule, as well as several intermolecular C—H
O interactions, linking the two molecules together into dimers. The dimers themselves are linked to neighbouring dimers by C—H
O and C—H
π interactions.

The title compound, 2-(2-Acetylfuran-3-yl)-1H-indole, was prepared in 85%
yield by AlCl3 facilitated deprotection of tert-butyl
2-(2-acetylfuran-3-yl)-1H-indole-1-carboxylate as described previously
(de Koning et al., 2000). Crystals suitable for X-ray crystallography
were obtained as yellow needles by recrystallization from n-hexane–ethyl
acetate (ca 4:1).
The structure is chiral but does not contain any atoms capable of significant
anomalous dispersion under the experimental conditions used. As a consequence,
a total of 2556 Friedel pairs were merged (92% of all possible pairs were
collected) before the final refinement was performed. The indole N—H atoms
were placed from the difference map and refined freely. All remaining H atoms
were positioned geometrically, and allowed to ride on their parent atoms, with
C—H bond lengths of 0.99 Å (CH2), 0.98 Å (CH3), or 0.95 Å
(aromatic CH). Isotropic displacement parameters for these atoms were set
equal to 1.2 (CH2 and aromatic CH), or 1.5 (CH3) times Ueq of the
parent atom.

Special details top
Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes)
are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken
into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles
and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only
used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic)
treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s.
planes. |
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor
wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional
R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for
negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 >
σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc.
and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement.
R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large
as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be
even larger. |

The carbazole structure is found in many naturally occurring compounds which possess interesting and potentially useful biological properties (Knölker & Reddy, 2002). For example, staurosporine, an indolo[3,2-a]carbazole isolated from Streptomyces staurosporeus, is a potent protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitor and therefore interest in compounds of this type exists due to their potential use as anti-cancer agents (Omura et al., 1977). Our research group has been interested in the synthesis of carbazoles and in continuing this work (de Koning et al., 2000), we sought to synthesize the naturally occurring furo[3,2-a]carbazole, furostifoline, first isolated by Furukawa and co-workers from Murraya euchrestifolia in 1990 (Furukawa & Ito, 1990).
En route to furostifoline, we synthesized the title compound in two steps starting from previously synthesized 1-(tert-butoxycarbonyl)-1H-indol-2-yl-2-boronic acid and 2-acetyl-3-bromofuran. (de Koning et al., 2000).
The title compound crystallizes with two molecules (designated A and B) in the asymmetric unit related by a pseudo centre of inversion (Fig. 1). Both molecules have an approximate planar conformation and similar bond lengths and angles. Selected bond lengths and angles are given in Table 1. Molecules in the structure pack in a herring bone type arrangement. There is within each molecule an intramolecular N—H···O H bond (Table 2) which can be described by the graph set S(7) (Etter et al., 1990; Bernstein et al., 1995). Acting between molecule A and B are weak C—H···O contacts (Table 2) linking these two molecules together into a dimer. Each of these dimers interact through C—H···O and C—H···π interactions with neighbouring dimers to form a stack of dimer molecules related by translation along the a axis (Fig. 2). The kink in the herring bone is generated by dimers related by the 2-fold screw axis along b. These interact with molecules in the original stack through C—H···π interactions (Table 2).
