Keywordsallylation; asymmetric catalysis; heterocycles; iridium; synthetic methods Chiral indole architectures are present in a wide variety of natural products and have been identified as promising lead compounds in medicinal chemistry.[1] Therefore, extensive effort has been dedicated to synthesizing enantioenriched indole derivatives by catalytic, enantioselective reactions,[2] such as 1,2-additions to carbonyl compounds and imines, [3] additions to electron-deficient alkenes, [4] and allylation reactions.[5] However, the indole acts as a carbon nucleophile in each of these reactions; catalytic, enantioselective reactions at the nitrogen atom of an indole are rare, but would provide access to an array of enantioenriched, heterocyclic architectures.One approach to overcome the greater nucleophilicity of the C3-position of indole, relative to that of N1, is to install an electron-withdrawing substituent at C2. Such a substituent tempers the nucleophilicity at C3, increases the acidity of the N-H bond, and can be used either for additional transformations or removed after reaction at the nitrogen center. Even by following this approach, catalytic, enantioselective reactions of indoles at the nitrogen center are rare. Recent reports by Bandani et al. [6] and Chen et al. [7] have shown that asymmetric alkylation of the indole nitrogen atom occurs with modified cinchona alkaloids, but just one report of enantioselective reactions catalyzed by a transition-metal complex that occur at an indole nitrogen atom has been published. In this work, N-substituted indolopyrrolocarbazole derivatives were synthesized by palladium-catalyzed asymmetric allylic alkylation of bis (indole) lactam pro-aglycons. [8] The potential of enantioselective N-allylation of indoles to create an entry into biologically active indole derivatives, particularly with catalysts that preferentially form chiral, branched products from linear allylic esters, led us to investigate iridium-catalyzed, asymmetric, Nallylation of indoles. We report herein the synthesis of enantioenriched, branched Nallylindoles from the reactions of 2-subsituted, 3-substituted, and 2,3-disubstituted indoles with achiral linear allylic carbonates in the presence of a single-component iridium catalyst [Eq.(1)]. The enantioenriched products are readily converted into monoamine reuptake inhibitors, [9] the indole core of integrin α v β 3 inhibitors, [10] and highly substituted dihydropyrrolo [1,2-a]indoles.
