Abstract The first highly atroposelective construction of N−N axially chiral indole scaffolds was established via a new strategy de novo ring formation. This makes use the organocatalytic asymmetric Paal–Knorr reaction well‐designed N ‐aminoindoles with 1,4‐diketones, thus affording ‐pyrrolylindoles in high yields and excellent atroposelectivities (up to 98 % yield, 96 ee). In addition, this is applicable for synthesis bispyrroles 97 More importantly, such heterocycles can be converted into organocatalysts applications catalysis, some molecules display potent anticancer activity. work not only provides but also offers members atropisomer family promising synthetic medicinal chemistry.

Abstract Herein, we have synthesized multifunctionalized 2‐oxa‐3‐azabicyclo[3.1.1]heptanes, which are considered potential bioisosteres for meta ‐substituted arenes, through Eu(OTf) 3 ‐catalyzed formal dipolar [4π+2σ] cycloaddition of bicyclo[1.1.0]butanes with nitrones. This methodology represents the initial instance fabricating bicyclo[3.1.1]heptanes adorned multiple heteroatoms. The protocol exhibits both mild reaction conditions and a good tolerance various functional groups. Computational density theory calculations support that mechanism likely involves nucleophilic addition nitrones to bicyclo[1.1.0]butanes, succeeded by an intramolecular cyclization. synthetic utility this novel has been demonstrated in concise synthesis analogue Rupatadine.
