Abstract
Structurally diverse cyclopenta[4,5]pyrrolo[1,2-a]indoles heterocycles were smoothly constructed in good to excellent yields (up to 99 %) with excellent diastereoselectivities (>19:1 dr) through a novel and facile strategy based on BF3-catalyzed Friedel-Crafts alkylation/Aldol/Dehydrative cyclization cascade reaction. The anti-proliferative activity of these newly synthesized polycyclic indoles was screened, and all the functionalized reductive derivatives exhibited favorable anti-tumor activity. Notably, compound 4ae displayed the remarkable inhibitory activity against MCF-7 and HeLa cells with IC50 values of 4.62 μM and 7.71 μM, respectively. Mechanistically, the representative compound 4ae could effectively induce apoptosis of MCF-7 cells in crediting to up-regulate the relative expression of apoptotic protein BAX/Bcl-2, subsequently activate Pro-caspase 9 and cleave PARP, simultaneously block the cell cycle through down- and up-regulate the expression of cyclin B1 and p53, respectively. Moreover, compound 4ae also exhibited promising antineoplastic efficacy in subcutaneous MCF-7 xenograft mice which manifest significant shrunken tumors conspicuous nuclear apoptotic signal and minimal systemic toxicity. This strategy not only established a novel and efficient method for the assembly of structurally complex indole heterocycles, but also provided a series of compounds possessing attractive anti-cancer activity, which holds immense potential for future biomedical applications.

Abstract
3-Fluorinated quinolines and pyridines are prevalent pharmacophores, yet their synthesis is often challenging. Herein, we demonstrate that dibromofluoromethane as bromofluorocarbene source enables the one-carbon ring expansion of readily available indoles and pyrroles to structurally diverse 3-fluorinated quinolines and pyridines. This straightforward protocol requires only a short reaction time of ten minutes and can be performed under air atmosphere. Preliminary investigations reveal that this strategy can also be applied to the synthesis of other valuable azines by using different 1,1-dibromoalkanes as bromocarbene sources.

Abstract
Machine-learning methods have great potential to accelerate the identification of reaction conditions for chemical transformations. A tool that gives substrate-adaptive conditions for palladium (Pd)-catalyzed carbon-nitrogen (C-N) couplings is presented. The design and construction of this tool required the generation of an experimental dataset that explores a diverse network of reactant pairings across a set of reaction conditions. A large scope of C-N couplings was actively learned by neural network models by using a systematic process to design experiments. The models showed good performance in experimental validation: Ten products were isolated in more than 85% yield from a range of couplings with out-of-sample reactants designed to challenge the models. Importantly, the developed workflow continually improves the prediction capability of the tool as the corpus of data grows.

Abstract
An efficient Michael/N-hemiacetalization cascade reaction of 5-aminoisoxazoles with β,γ-unsaturated α-ketoesters was developed under the catalysis of a chiral copper complex. A series of optically pure six-membered ring N,O-hemiaminals were obtained with excellent yields (up to 96% yield) and high enantioselectivities (up to 98% ee). The possible transition state was supported by DFT calculations and thereby the corresponding mechanism was proposed.

Abstract
The catalytic asymmetric construction of axially chiral indole-based frameworks is an important area of research due to the unique characteristics of such frameworks. Nevertheless, research in this area is still in its infancy and has some challenges, such as designing and constructing new classes of axially chiral indole-based scaffolds and developing their applications in chiral catalysts, ligands, etc. To overcome these challenges, we present herein the design and atroposelective synthesis of aryl-pyrroloindoles as a new class of axially chiral indole-based scaffolds via the strategy of organocatalytic asymmetric (2 + 3) cyclization between 3-arylindoles and propargylic alcohols. More importantly, this new class of axially chiral scaffolds was derived into phosphines, which served as efficient chiral ligands in palladium-catalyzed asymmetric reactions. Moreover, theoretical calculations provided an in-depth understanding of the reaction mechanism. This work offers a new strategy for constructing axially chiral indole-based scaffolds, which are promising for finding more applications in asymmetric catalysis.

Abstract
A rhodium-catalyzed asymmetric 1,4-addition of α/β-(N-indolyl) acrylates to access highly enantioenriched chiral N-alkylindoles promoted by chiral diene or sulfur-olefin ligands under mild reaction conditions has been developed, which provides an efficient and practical approach for constructing carbon stereocenters adjacent to the indole nitrogen. The reaction can be applied to various N-indolyl-substituted α,β-unstaturated esters and arylboron reagents, providing access to a wide range of α- and β-(N-indolyl) propionate derivatives in high yields with excellent enantioselectivities (≤99% ee).

Abstract
Compared with the well-established asymmetric Pictet-Spengler reactions on the pyrrole ring of indoles, the catalytic asymmetric Pictet-Spengler reaction on the benzene ring of indoles has been rarely studied. Herein the C6-selective Pictet-Spengler reactions of indoles have been realized by employing 2-(1H-indol-7-yl)anilines and isatins in the presence of chiral phosphoric acid, affording novel polycyclic indole derivatives bearing spiro quaternary stereocenters in excellent yields with excellent enantioselectivities. This reaction could be conducted on the gram scale without any loss of activity or enantioselectivity.

Abstract
N,O-acetals are part of many synthetic intermediates and important skeletons of numerous natural products and pharmaceutical drugs. The most straightforward method of the synthesis of N,O-acetals is the enantioselective addition of O-nucleophiles to imines. However, using this method for the synthesis of linear chiral N,O-ketals still remains challenging due to the instability of raw materials under acidic or basic conditions. Herein, we developed a Cu-catalyzed asymmetric addition of alcohols to β,γ-alkynyl-α-imino esters under mild conditions, providing the corresponding linear chiral N,O-ketals with up to 96% ee. The method tolerates some variation in the β,γ-alkynyl-α-imino ester and alcohol scope, including some glucose and natural amino acid derivatives. Computational results indicate that the Boc group of the substrates assist in the extraction of hydrogen atoms from the alcohols to promote the addition reactions. These products could be synthesized on a gram-scale and can be used in several transformations. This asymmetric addition system provides an efficient, mild, gram-scale, and transition-metal-catalyzed synthesis of linear chiral N,O-ketals. N,O-acetals are part of many synthetic intermediates and important skeletons of numerous natural products and pharmaceutical drugs. Here the authors show a Cu-catalyzed asymmetric addition of alcohols to β,γ-alkynyl-α-imino esters, providing the corresponding linear chiral N,O-ketals with up to 96% ee.

Abstract
:
The C-H and N-H functionalization of indoles is an interesting area of research that has a useful impact on organic synthesis due to the availability of chiral indole scaffolds in the discovery of drugs, synthetic bioactive compounds, and natural products. The chiral phosphoric acid catalysts (CPAs) have proven to be a powerful and versatile class of enantioselective organocatalysts. Many asymmetric syntheses of organic compounds have been carried out with these catalysts in C–C and C-N bond formation reactions, and great progress has been reported. By 2011, several reviews were published covering some important topics and recent achievements in this field. Therefore, in this review, the most recent advances, research breakthroughs with key examples involving mechanisms of CPA-catalyzed C-H and N-H functionalization of indoles to form central chirality via Friedel Crafts, Michael type, and rearrangement reactions were reviewed and reported.

Abstract
Straightforward access to [1,2]-annulated indoles, key substructures in natural products, is highly desirable yet challenging. Herein, a radical triggered fragmentary cyclization cascade reaction of ene-ynamides is presented, providing a rapid access into [1,2]-annulated indoles by an intermolecular radical addition, intramolecular cyclization, desulfonylative aryl migration, and site-selective C(sp2)-N cyclization sequence. DFT calculations support oxidation of N-centered radical species to cations prior to the C-N bond formation, followed by an unusual aza-Nazarov cyclization.

Abstract
The chiral oxazoline motif is present in many ligands that have been extensively applied in a series of important metal-catalyzed enantioselective reactions. This Review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the most significant applications of oxazoline-containing ligands reported in the literature starting from 2009 until the end of 2018. The ligands are classified not by the reaction to which their metal complexes have been applied but by the nature of the denticity, chirality, and donor atoms involved. As a result, the continued development of ligand architectural design from mono(oxazolines), to bis(oxazolines), to tris(oxazolines) and tetra(oxazolines) and variations thereof can be more easily monitored by the reader. In addition, the key transition states of selected asymmetric transformations will be given to illustrate the features that give rise to high levels of asymmetric induction. As a further aid to the reader, we summarize the majority of schemes with representative examples that highlight the variation in % yields and % ees for carefully selected substrates. This Review should be of particular interest to the experts in the field but also serve as a useful starting point to new researchers in this area. It is hoped that this Review will stimulate both the development/design of new ligands and their applications in novel metal-catalyzed asymmetric transformations.

Abstract
A sulfa-Michael/aldol/lactonization cascade reaction has been established to construct isotetronic acid-fused thiochromanes in a highly stereoselective fashion (≥11:1 dr, 35-98% ee). The tricyclic products were obtained in 35-99% isolated yields in the presence of a bifunctional squaramide. Three reactive sites of β,γ-unsaturated α-ketoester, including the less-explored ester carbonyl group, were sequentially utilized to construct two fused heterocycles in a one-pot operation.

Abstract
The synthesis of fully substituted α-N-pyrrolyl and indolyl ketones via enantioselective palladium-catalyzed allylic alkylation is described. The acyclic ketones are alkylated in high yields with high enantioselectivities through the use of an electron-deficient phosphinooxazoline ligand, furnishing a highly congested and synthetically challenging stereocenter. The obtained alkylation products contain multiple reactive sites poised for additional functionalizations and diversification.

Abstract
A catalytic asymmetric decarboxylative [3 + 2] annulation via indolyl copper-allenylidene amphiphilic intermediates has been developed. This protocol offers a straightforward method for the synthesis of biologically important pyrrolo[1,2-a]indoles bearing contiguous quaternary and tertiary stereogenic centers with excellent diastereo- and enantioselectivities (up to >20:1 dr and >99% ee). In addition, the diversity-oriented synthesis of pyrrolo[1,2-a]indoles was achieved via versatile transformations of the alkyne-containing cycloadducts.

Abstract
Catalytic asymmetric functionalization of the N–H groups of indoles and carbazoles constitutes an important but less developed class of reactions. Herein, we describe a propargylation protocol involving the use of a lithium SPINOL phosphate as the chiral catalyst and our recently developed C-alkynyl N,O-acetals as propargylating reagents. The direct asymmetric N-propargylation of indoles and carbazoles provides hitherto inaccessible N-functionalized products. Notably, the efficiency of the system allows reactions to be run at a very low catalyst loading (as low as 0.1 mol%). Mechanistic information about the titled reaction is also disclosed. This study represents an advance in the direct asymmetric functionalization of the N–H bonds of indoles and carbazoles, and additionally expands on the application of chiral alkali metal salts of chiral phosphoric acids in asymmetric catalysis. Asymmetric functionalization of N–H bonds constitutes an important but less developed class of reactions. Here, the authors report the asymmetric direct N-propargylation of indoles and carbazoles with a lithium SPINOL phosphate as the chiral catalyst and shed light on the reaction mechanism.

Abstract
The dearomatization of arenes represents a powerful synthetic methodology to provide three-dimensional chemicals of high added value. Here we report a general and practical protocol for regioselective dearomative annulation of indole and benzofuran derivatives in an electrochemical way. Under undivided electrolytic conditions, a series of highly functionalized five to eight-membered heterocycle-2,3-fused indolines and dihydrobenzofurans, which are typically unattainable under thermal conditions, can be successfully accessed in high yield with excellent regio- and stereo-selectivity. This transformation can also tolerate a wide range of functional groups and achieve good efficiency in large-scale synthesis under oxidant-free conditions. In addition, cyclic voltammetry, electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and kinetic studies indicate that the dehydrogenative dearomatization annulations arise from the anodic oxidation of indole into indole radical cation, and this process is the rate-determining step. Enriching the chemical space of polycyclic heterocycles is of high value in chemical biology. Here, the authors report an electrooxidative protocol for the regioselective dearomative annulation of indoles and benzofurans under undivided cell conditions and obtain five- to eight-membered fused heterocycles.

Abstract
Iron-catalyzed highly regio- and enantioselective organic transformations with generality and broad substrate scope have profound applications in modern synthetic chemistry; an example is herein described based on cis-FeII complexes having metal- and ligand-centered chirality. The cis-β FeII(N4) complex [FeII(L)(OTf)2] (L = N,N′-bis(2,3-dihydro-1H-cyclopenta-[b]quinoline-5-yl)-N,N′-dimethylcyclohexane-1,2-diamine) is an effective chiral catalyst for highly regio- and enantioselective alkylation of N-heteroaromatics with α,β-unsaturated 2-acyl imidazoles, including asymmetric N1, C2, C3 alkylations of a broad range of indoles (34 examples) and alkylation of pyrroles and anilines (14 examples), all with high product yields (up to 98%), high enantioselectivity (up to >99% ee) and high regioselectivity. DFT calculations revealed that the “chiral-at-metal” cis-β configuration of the iron complex and a secondary π–π interaction are responsible for the high enantioselectivity. A cis-β FeII complex having metal- and ligand-centered chirality catalyzes highly regio- and enantioselective alkylation of indoles (at the N1, C2, or C3 position), pyrroles and anilines with α,β-unsaturated 2-acyl imidazoles (48 examples, up to 99% ee).![]()

Abstract
The aromatic nitrogen atoms of heteroarylaldehydes are activated by carbene catalysts to react with ketone electrophiles. Multi-functionalized cyclic N,O-acetal products are afforded in good to excellent yields and optical purities. Our reaction involves the formation of an unprecedented aza-fulvene-type acylazolium intermediate. A broad range of N-heteroaromatic aldehydes and electron-deficient ketone substrates works effectively in this transformation. Several of the chiral N,O-acetal products afforded through this protocol exhibit excellent antibacterial activities against Ralstonia solanacearum (Rs) and are valuable in the development of novel agrichemicals for plant protection.

Abstract
The enantioselective transformations of indoles preferentially take place in the more-reactive azole ring. However, the methods for the enantioselective functionalization of the indole benzene ring are scarce. In this paper, a series of bifunctional (thio)urea derivatives were used to organocatalyze the enantioselective Friedel-Crafts hydroxyalkylation of indoles with isatins. The resulting products were obtained in good yields (65-90%) with up to 94% enantiomer excess (ee). The catalyst type and the substrate scope were broadened in this methodology.
