Catalytic asymmetric coupling of vinylogous species <i>via</i> deconjugated butenolide addition to vinylogous imines <i>in situ</i> generated from arylsulfonyl indoles
An efficient catalytic asymmetric coupling of vinylogous species is developed via deconjugated butenolide addition to vinylogousimines in situgeneratedfromarylsulfonylindoles. With quinine-derived bifunctional squaramide as the catalyst, a series of structurally diverse enantioenriched sec-alkyl-3-substituted indoles containing valuable γ,γ-disubstituted butenolide moieties and adjacent quaternary-tertiary

The di-tert-butyl peroxide (DTBP) induced coupling of arenesulfonylindoles with ethers such as 1,4-dioxane, tetrahydropyran, tetrahydrofuran, and 1,2-dimethoxyethane was studied. The distinguishing feature of this strategy was characterized by capturing in situ generated vinylogous imine intermediates for the C(sp3)–H bond alkylation of ethers. This general procedure presents the major advantages of
An efficient organocatalyzed enantioselective hydrophosphinylation of indole-derived vinylogous imines generated in situ from sulfonyl indoles has been developed. Using quinine-derived bifunctional thiourea as the catalyst, a wide range of structurally diverse chiral 3-(1-diphenylphosphoryl-arylmethyl)indoles were obtained with good to excellent results (up to 99% yield and 99% ee). This method represents
A concise synthesis of spiro-cyclopropane compounds from indole derivatives and sulfur ylides has been developed via a dearomatization strategy. Moreover, the spiro-cyclopropane compounds could be conveniently transformed to rearomatized indole derivatives in the presence of acids.
