Direct and Highly Enantioselective Iso-Pictet–Spengler Reactions with α-Ketoamides: Access to Underexplored Indole Core Structures
摘要:
Direct, one-pot, operationally simple, and highly enantioselective iso-Pictet-Spengler reactions are reported. The reactions involve the condensation of either (1H-indol-4-yl)methanamine or 2-(1H-Indol-1-yl)ethanamine with a variety of alpha-ketoamides, followed by the addition of a simple and commercially available chiral silicon Lewis acid. These reactions are the first asymmetric examples of these cyclization modes and provide access to 3,3-disubstituted-1,3,4,5-tetrahydropyrrolo[4,3,2-de]isoquinolines and 1,1-disubstituted-1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyrazino[1,2-a]indoles, respectively, two relatively underexplored indole-based core structure motifs in medicinal chemistry.

Highly efficientsynthesis of optically enriched pyrrolobenzo‐1,4‐diazines bearing quaternary stereocenters has been realized through the chiral Brønsted acid‐catalyzed Pictet–Spengler reaction of 2‐(1H‐pyrrol‐1‐yl)anilines and α‐ketoamides in good to excellent yields and enantioselectivities. Computational studies suggest an unprecedented phenomenon whereby the chiral phosphoric acid catalyst employs
