Asymmetric oxidative rearrangement of indoles enabled by dual catalysis with in situ generated acyl hypoiodite and chiral phosphoric acid

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

A dual catalytic asymmetric oxidative rearrangement of indoles via traceless halonium intermediates. This halide-catalyzed method features excellent enantioselectivity and broad functional group tolerance, including late-stage complex targets.
