Enantioselective Oxidative Cross‐Coupling Reaction of 3‐Indolylmethyl CH Bonds with 1,3‐Dicarbonyls Using a Chiral Lewis Acid‐Bonded Nucleophile to Control Stereochemistry

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

A highly enantioselective CH-activation-based oxidative coupling reaction of 3-arylmethylindole derivatives with dibenzyl malonate by using chiral Lewis acid bonded nucleophiles provided an approach to indole derivatives (see scheme; DDQ=2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyano-1,4-benzoquinone, OTf=trifluoromethanesulfonate).
