An efficient protocol for the enantioselective C7 Friedel‐Crafts alkylation between 4‐aminoindoles and 2‐butene‐1,4‐diones or 3‐aroylacrylates was reported. This process was catalyzed by a chiral phosphoric acid, affording the corresponding 1,4‐disubstituted indoles in moderate to high yields with good to high enantioselectivities. This reaction could be performed on a gram scale without loss of efficiency
has been accomplished in the presence of a chiral N,N′‐dioxide/[Sc(OTf)3] complex (0.5–2 mol %), delivering the desired vicinal anti‐α‐iodo‐β‐amino carbonyl compounds regioselectively in high yields (up to 97 %) and with excellent diastereoselectivities (>99:1 d.r.) and enantioselectivities (up to 99 % ee). Enantiopure syn‐α‐iodo‐β‐amino products could also be obtained from the isomerization of particular
Organophosphine bearing multiple hydrogen-bond donors for asymmetric Michael addition reaction of 1-oxoindane-2-carboxylic acid ester via dual-reagent catalysis
phosphines derived from dipeptide dual-reagents catalyzed asymmetric Michael addition reactions between indene esters and activated olefins in high yields and good to excellent enantioselectivities under mild reaction conditions. The success of current highly selective reactions should provide inspiration for expansion to other reactions and would open up new paradigms for the synthesis of indanone derivatives
sulfinamide bisphosphine catalysts (Wei‐Phos) were developed. These could be easily prepared from commercially available starting materials. Wei‐Phos has shown good performance in the very challenging intermolecular cross‐Rauhut–Currier reactions of vinyl ketones and 3‐acyl acrylates or 2‐ene‐1,4‐diones, leading to the R‐C products in high yields with up to 99 % ee under 2.5–5 mol% catalyst loading. The highly
