Abstract
Axially chiral Indoline‐based scaffolds are virtually universal in biological and pharmaceutical compounds. Here we demonstrate an atroposelective Rh‐catalyzed 1,6‐enynes with steric hindered N‐alkynyl indoles, which enables simultaneous construction of both axial and central chirality, containing a quaternary carbon center, in one step. Notable features of these reactions include excellent chemo‐, regio‐, diastereo‐ and enantioselectivity, 100% atom‐economy, easily available Segphos ligand, and mild conditions.
期刊介绍:
With an impact factor of 4.495 (2018), ChemCatChem is one of the premier journals in the field of catalysis. The journal provides primary research papers and critical secondary information on heterogeneous, homogeneous and bio- and nanocatalysis. The journal is well placed to strengthen cross-communication within between these communities. Its authors and readers come from academia, the chemical industry, and government laboratories across the world. It is published on behalf of Chemistry Europe, an association of 16 European chemical societies, and is supported by the German Catalysis Society.
