The first application of 3-alkyl-2-vinylindoles in catalytic asymmetric dearomative cycloadditions was established by chiral phosphoric acid (CPA)-catalyzed (2+3) cycloaddition with azoalkenes, leading to the generation pyrroloindolines bearing two tetrasubstituted stereogenic centers good yields (61–96%) and excellent stereoselectivities (all >95:5 dr, 86–99% ee). This reaction has realized enantioselective 3-alkyl-2-vinylindoles, which brings a new reactivity this class vinylindoles will enrich chemistry 3-alkyl-2-vinylindoles. In addition, approach provided useful strategy for construction enantioenriched pyrroloindoline skeletons centers. More importantly, bioassay these revealed that some compounds exhibit strong anti-cancer activity against Hela MCF-7 cell lines, be helpful discovering drug candidates.

Abstract Lanthanide photocatalysts are much less investigated in synthetic chemistry than rare and expensive late transition metals. We herein introduce Gd III photocatalysis of a highly regioselective, intermolecular [2+2] photocycloaddition/ring‐expansion sequence with indoles, which could provide divergent access to cyclopenta[ b ]indoles indolines. A simple commercially available Gd(OTf) 3 salt is sufficient for this visible‐violet‐light‐induced transformation. The reaction proceeds either through transient or start‐to‐end dearomatization cascade shows excellent regioselectivity (usually >95:5 r.r.), broad scope (59 examples), good functional group tolerance facile scale‐up under mild, direct visible‐light‐excitation conditions. Mechanistic investigations reveal that excitation the /indole mixture gives an excited state intermediate, undergoes subsequent cycloaddition cyclobutane‐expansion cascade.

Abstract Dearomative annulation of indoles has emerged as a powerful tool for the preparation polycyclic indoline‐based alkaloids. Compared with well‐established methods towards five‐membered‐ring‐fused indolines, six‐membered‐ring‐fused indolines are rarely accessed under thermal conditions. Herein, dearomative [4+2] between different is developed through an electrochemical pathway. This transformation offers remarkably regio‐ and stereoselective route to highly functionalized pyrimido[5,4‐ b ]indoles oxidant‐ metal‐free Notably, this approach maintains excellent functional‐group tolerance can be extended modification tactic pharmaceutical research.

Therefore, developing efficient methods for preparing compounds with these privileged scaffolds is an important endeavor synthetic chemistry. Herein, we develop effective, modular method by a dipeptide‐phosphonium salt‐catalyzed regio‐ stereoselective cascade reaction of readily available linear β,γ‐unsaturated ketones aromatic alkenes, affording wide variety structurally fused heterocyclic molecules high yields excellent stereoselectivities. Moreover, mechanistic investigations revealed that the bifunctional phosphonium salt controlled stereoselectivities this reaction, particularly proceeding through initial ketone α‐addition followed O ‐participated substitution; multiple hydrogen‐bonding interactions between Brønsted acid moieties catalyst nitro group alkene were crucial asymmetric induction. Given generality, versatility, efficiency method, anticipate it will have broad utilities.
