摘要
Organocatalyzed asymmetric Friedel-Craft reactions have enabled the rapid construction of chiral molecules with highly enantioselectivity enriching the toolbox of chemists for producing complex substances. Here, we report N-heterocyclic carbene-catalyzed asymmetric indole Friedel-Crafts alkylation-annulation with alpha,beta-unsaturated acyl azolium as the key intermediate, affording a large variety of indole-fused polycyclic alkaloids with excellent diastereo- and enantioselectivities. The reaction mechanism is also investigated, and the reaction products can be easily converted to highly functionalized indole frameworks with different core structures.
