Catalytic atroposelective syntheses of axially chiral compounds have stimulated extensive interest in multiple communities, such as synthetic chemistry, biochemistry, and materials science, because the intriguing characteristics atropisomerism. In particular, atropisomeric indole derivatives, which contain a kind five-membered heterocyclic framework, are widely distributed number natural alkaloids, biologically relevant compounds, ligands, organocatalysts. Hence, catalytic synthesis derivatives bearing axial chirality is considerable importance has become an emerging focus research. However, there substantial challenges associated with including remote ortho-substituents around axis, lower barrier for rotation, weaker configurational stability than that six-membered biaryls. Therefore, development effective strategies toward urgent task.In order to tackle these accomplish task, our group devised unique strategy designing indole-derived platform molecules developing organocatalytic enantioselective transformations synthesize derivatives; asymmetric organocatalysis tremendous advantages was research area recognized by Nobel Prize Chemistry 2021. This Account summarizes endeavors chirality. brief, we developed series molecules, indolylmethanols, (hetero)aryl indoles, oxindole-based styrenes, N-aminoindoles, indole-based homophthalic anhydrides, introducing different functional groups onto ring achieve new reactivity modulate reactive site ring. As result, possess versatile capable undergoing variety preparing structurally diversified chirality.We used plenty chirality, alkene-indoles, N-pyrrolylindoles, isochromenone-indoles. addition, gave thorough detailed understanding designed reaction investigating pathway activation mode. More importantly, studied biological activity some products performed catalyst design on basis moieties, helpful disclosing more applications chirality.In future, will indubitably remain frontier topic catalysis chemistry despite challenging issues, instance, novel unconventional into powerful catalysts or discovery potent drug candidates. We hope efforts summarized this encourage chemists worldwide devise innovative solving issues field, thus promoting its higher level.
