Abstract:An axially chiral indolyl-pyrroloindole scaffold, a new
member
of axially chiral indole-based scaffolds, has been designed, and the
catalytic asymmetric construction of this scaffold has been established
by the strategy of organocatalytic asymmetric (2 + 3) cycloaddition
of 3,3′-bisindoles with isoindolinone-based propargylic alcohols.
By this approach, a series of indolyl-pyrroloindole derivatives bearing
both axial chirality and central chirality were synthesized in high
yields with excellent diastereo- and … Show more
“…In 2022, Shi and co-workers expanded on this protocol by developing a chiral phosphoric acid (CPA)catalyzed (2 + 3)-cycloaddition between 47.1 and propargylic alcohol 47.5 using chiral phosphoric acid 47.6. 208 Under these conditions, spirocyclic 47.7 was afforded in 95% yield and 97% ee with 80:20 dr. In 2019, Zhang, Shi, and their colleagues reported on a chiral phosphoric acid (CPA)-catalyzed dynamic kinetic resolution of axially chiral naphthyl-indoles via nucleophilic addition of indoles (Figure 48).…”

“… A reaction between 2-substituted 3,3′-bisindole 47.1 and isatin-derived 3-indolylmethanol 47.2 afforded the 3,3′-bisindole product 47.3 in 93% yield, >95:5 dr, and 97% ee when conducted in the presence of 5 mol % of CPA catalyst ( R )- 47.4 in toluene. In 2022, Shi and co-workers expanded on this protocol by developing a chiral phosphoric acid (CPA)-catalyzed (2 + 3)-cycloaddition between 47.1 and propargylic alcohol 47.5 using chiral phosphoric acid 47.6 .

“…Moreover, indolyl-pyrroloindole scaffolds are one of the most important components of certain chiral ligands or catalysts with axial chirality. 19,20 Due to the excellent biological activity of pyrrolo[1,2- a ]indole-containing natural products and the demand for their synthesis in synthetic chemistry, the development of a novel cascade of reactions that can achieve complexity in a one-pot reaction along with the generation of several chiral centres would be of considerable valuable. 21 To date, several useful methods have been developed towards the synthesis of the pyrrolo[1,2- a ]indole skeleton and natural products containing it.…”
“…Enantiopure axially chiral compounds are important motifs that are widely present in natural products, pharmaceuticals, bioactive compounds, advanced functional materials, and chiral catalysts/ligands . Among them, atropisomers bearing both axial and point chirality have displayed unique applications in pharmaceutical science and asymmetric synthesis . It has been proven that the superposition of a point chiral element with an axial backbone in an organocatalyst or ligand could largely enhance chirality transfer in various enantioselective transformations .…”
An N-heterocyclic carbene-catalyzed atroposelective [3 + 3] annulation of enals with 2-aminomaleate derivatives is described. A series of substituted dihydropyridones bearing both C−N axis and point chirality were synthesized with good diastereo-and enantioselectivity under mild conditions. This efficient strategy successfully superpositions an extra point chiral element with an axial backbone, and the generated structurally interesting atropisomers may have potential application in drug discovery.
