“…Chiral tetrahydrobenzofuro[2, 3-b]pyrroles, especiallyt hose bearing characteristic quaternary carbon stereogenic centers at the ring junctions, are core scaffolds embedded in al arge array of biologically active substances ( Figure 1). [1] However,a ssembly strategiesf or these tricyclics caffolds currently are very limited.E xisting methodss uch as the stepwise C3-arylation/C2oxygenation of indoles, [2] skeletal rearrangement of benzoxazines [3] and chromen-2-ones, [4] cyclization of nitrones, [5] cycloaddition of dichloroketenes with sulfilimines, [6] radical annulation of N-chlorosulfonamides with benzofurans, [7] and also the recently developed radical-initiated cyclativer earrangemento f conjugated aryl oxime ether, [8] always suffer from multiple synthetic steps,u navailabilityo fs tarting materials, and/or lack of enantioselectivity.H ence, the development of novel, efficient, and particularly asymmetrica ccesses from readily available startingm aterials is undoubtedly of significance and deserves investigation.…”
