Abstract A desymmetrization strategy was developed involving iridium‐catalyzed allylic dearomatization of indoles. The six‐membered‐ring spiroindolenines contain three contiguous stereogenic centers, including an all‐carbon quaternary center, and were obtained in up to 99 % yield with ee >95:5 d.r. When treated a catalytic amount tosylic acid, six‐membered spiroindolenine undergoes unprecedented six‐to‐seven‐membered ring expansion, affording the corresponding hexahydroazepino[4,5‐ b ]indole.

Angewandte Chemie International Edition, Год журнала: 2020, Номер 59(19), С. 7598 - 7604

Опубликована: Фев. 24, 2020

The enantioselective intermolecular C2-allylation of 3-substituted indoles is reported for the first time. This directing group-free approach relies on a chiral Ir-(P, olefin) complex and Mg(ClO4 )2 Lewis acid catalyst system to promote allylic substitution, providing C2-allylated products in typically high yields (40-99 %) enantioselectivities (83-99 % ee) with excellent regiocontrol. Experimental studies DFT calculations suggest that reaction proceeds via direct C2-allylation, rather than C3-allylation followed by situ migration. Steric congestion at indole-C3 position improved π-π stacking interactions have been identified as major contributors C2-selectivity.
