Nat Commun 2024; 15:6848. [PMID: 39127693 DOI: 10.1038/s41467-024-50896-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/22/2024] [Accepted: 07/24/2024] [Indexed: 08/12/2024] Open
Abstract
The construction of atropisomers with 1,2-diaxes, while maintaining high enantiocontrol, presents a significant challenge due to the dynamic nature of steric hindrance at ortho-aryl substituents. Although various catalytic asymmetric methods have been developed for accessing axially chiral arylpyrroles, the synthesis of axially chiral arylpyrroles with 1,2-diaxes in a catalytic asymmetric manner has remained rare. Herein, the authors report the synthesis of diverse axially chiral arylpyrroles with 1,2-diaxes, and C-C and C-N axes through copper-catalysed asymmetirc [4 + 1] annulation of yne-allylic esters with arylamines via a remote stereocontrol strategy. This approach provides facile access to a broad range of heterobiaryl atropisomers (67 examples) in excellent enantioselectivities, each bearing one or two C-C/C-N axes, demonstrating its versatility and efficiency. The utility of this methodology is further highlighted by the transformation of the product into chiral phosphine ligand, and chiral thioureas for the use in asymmetric catalysis.

Abstract
Gold-catalyzed cascade cyclization of diynes for the synthesis of previously unexplored C-N axially chiral N-arylbenzo[g]indoles was described. The transformation was achieved via a central-to-axial chirality conversion strategy. The chiral conversion exhibited high efficiency. Besides single C-N chiral axis, N-arylbenzo[g]indoles bearing both C-N and C-C chiral axes were also afforded. The title compound derived monophosphine ligand was prepared and was evaluated in Pd-catalyzed asymmetric allylic substitutions, showing excellent chiral induction ability.

Abstract
An extremely concise, scalable, and stereoselective synthesis of a privileged chiral skeleton based on 2,2'-biindolyl and commercially available chiral building blocks has been developed. This novel skeleton allows for easy access to a range of bisphosphine ligands (decagram scale, up to 58% total yield, only three steps). The synthetic method is characterized by an efficient central-to-axial chirality transfer strategy. In particular, the superior performance of the ligands has been demonstrated in diverse reactions, including several asymmetric hydrogenations, asymmetric conjugate reductions, and cycloisomerization reactions, indicating a great potential for the application of the newly developed chiral backbones in further modifications and exploration of novel chiral ligands and catalysts.

Abstract
We demonstrated here an efficient synthetic method of carbazole derivatives from readily available N-arylnaphthalen-2-amines and quinone esters catalyzed by Brønsted acid. With this strategy, a series of carbazole derivatives were obtained in good to excellent yields (76 to >99) under mild conditions. Large scale reaction illustrated the synthetic utility of this protocol. Meanwhile, a series of C-N axially chiral carbazole derivatives were also constructed in moderate to good yields (36-89% yield) with moderate to excellent atroposelectivities (44-94% ee) by using chiral phosphoric acid as a catalyst, which provides a novel strategy for the atroposelective construction of C-N axially chiral compounds and a new member of the C-N atropisomers.

Abstract
The construction of an N-C chiral axis for N-aryl indole derivatives is meaningful as they widely exist in functionalized molecules. This work provides a novel method for this purpose via amination of amino acid derivatives at the C2 position of the indole and chiral center induced chiral axis formation. The protocol of this transformation is easily accessible, not requiring metal or an organic chiral catalyst, endowing this method with great potential in the construction of axis chiral N-aryl indoles.

Abstract
Herein, a new strategy for the enantioselective synthesis of axially chiral N-aryl succinimides was devised by [3 + 2] annulation of MBH carbonates and N-aryl maleimides under chiral phosphine. This desymmetrization process allows for quick construction of both two stereogenic carbon centers and a remote CAr-N atropisomeric chirality. A series of structurally diverse N-aryl succinimides were obtained with good to excellent yields, diastereoselectivities, and enantioselectivities. The process is mild, efficient, and scalable and features a broad substrate scope.
