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 99 % ee and >95:5 d.r. When treated with a catalytic amount of tosylic acid, six-membered spiroindolenine undergoes an unprecedented six-to-seven-membered ring expansion, affording the corresponding hexahydroazepino[4,5-b]indole.
开发了一种不对称化策略,涉及铱催化吲哚的烯丙基去芳构化。六元环螺吲哚啉含有三个连续的手性中心,包括全碳季碳中心,以高达 99%的产率、99%的对映选择性和>95:5 的 dr 获得。当用催化量的对甲苯磺酸处理时,六元环螺吲哚啉经历了前所未有的六到七元环扩张,生成相应的六氢氮杂[4,5-b]吲哚。
