Remote-stereocontrolled (3+2)-annulation of pyrrolidinone-based MBH carbonates with 2-arylideneindane-1,3-diones

Key Points

• The aim is to explore a new enantioselective annulation method using MBH carbonates and arylideneindane diones.
• Utilized a chiral phosphine catalyst
• Conducted remote-controlled reactions
• Performed under mild conditions
• Successfully achieved enantioselective (3+2)-annulation
• Constructed complex molecules efficiently
