Abstract
The short and first total synthesis of (+)-colletotryptins B-D, ent-colletotryptin A, and diastereomer of mucronatin B, which are a group of natural 3-(indol-2-yl)-3-(indol-3-yl)-1,2-propanediol (IIPDO) analogues containing two stereogenic centers at the C8' and C9' positions, isolated from endophytic fungus Colletotrichum sp. SC1355 and Tetrapterys mucronata, respectively, has been successfully accomplished in two and three steps with overall yields ranging from 28 to 54%. Key features of this synthesis include an innovative Bi(OTf)3-catalyzed stereoselective transindolylation of (S)-3,3'-di(1H-indol-3-yl)propane-1,2-diol. The operational simplicity, environmentally friendly catalyst, and broad functional group tolerance of this modular strategy render it suitable for adoption in both academic and industrial settings.

Abstract
In the chemistry community, catalytic asymmetric synthesis of furan-based compounds bearing both axial and central chirality has proven to be a significant but challenging issue owing to the importance and difficulty in constructing such frameworks. In this work, we have realized the first catalytic asymmetric synthesis of five-five-membered furan-based compounds bearing both axial and central chirality via organocatalytic asymmetric (2+4) annulation of achiral furan-indoles with 2,3-indolyldimethanols with uncommon regioselectivity. By this strategy, furan-indole compounds bearing both axial and central chirality were synthesized in high yields with excellent regio-, diastereo-, and enantioselectivities. Moreover, theoretical calculations were conducted to provide an in-depth understanding of the reaction pathway, activation mode, and the origin of the selectivity.

Abstract
The untapped potential of α-carbonyl sulfoxonium ylides in epoxide ring-opening reactions has been a notable gap in current research, with such reactivity predominantly associated with the highly reactive dimethylsulfoxonium methylide. This study introduces an innovative approach wherein an epoxide indole, formed in situ from 2-hydroxyindoline-3-triethylammonium bromide, undergoes reaction with α-ester sulfoxonium ylides. The outcome is the efficient synthesis of a range of 2-hydroxyindolin-3-ylidenes, demonstrating favorable yields (41-81%) and Z/E ratios from 4:1 to those of exclusive Z isomers. Additionally, the photophysical properties of the synthesized indolinylidenes are explored, along with their derivatization using various nucleophiles under acid catalysis.

Abstract
Despite the enormous developments in the asymmetric transformations of indole imine methides (IIMs), the remote asymmetric induction involving IIMs remains challenging due to the spatial interaction requirement between the substrate and catalyst. Herein we report the first catalytic asymmetric nucleophilic addition to indole imine 5-methide (5-IIM), the only topological isomer of IIMs whose asymmetric addition remains unknown. Despite the challenging remote stereocontrol, high efficiency and respectable enantioselectivity were achieved to provide access to a range of enantioenriched indole-containing triaryl alkanes.

Abstract
Catalytic asymmetric construction of chiral indole-fused rings has become an important issue in the chemical community because of the significance of such scaffolds. In this work, we have accomplished the first catalytic asymmetric (4+2) and (4+3) cycloadditions of 2,3-indolyldimethanols by using indoles and 2-naphthols as suitable reaction partners under the catalysis of chiral phosphoric acids, constructing enantioenriched indole-fused six-membered and seven-membered rings in high yields with excellent enantioselectivities. In addition, this approach is used to realize the first enantioselective construction of challenging tetrahydroindolocarbazole scaffolds, which are found to show promising anticancer activity. More importantly, theoretical calculations of the reaction pathways and activation mode offer an in-depth understanding of this class of indolylmethanols. This work not only settles the challenges in realizing catalytic asymmetric cycloadditions of indolyldimethanols but also provides a powerful strategy for the construction of enantioenriched indole-fused rings.

Abstract
Synthetic application of asymmetric catalysis relies on strategic alignment of bond construction to creation of chirality of a target molecule. Remote desymmetrization offers distinctive advantages of spatial decoupling of catalytic transformation and generation of a stereogenic element. However, such spatial separation presents substantial difficulties for the chiral catalyst to discriminate distant enantiotopic sites through a reaction three or more bonds away from a prochirality center. Here, we report a strategy that establishes acyclic quaternary carbon stereocenters through cross-coupling reactions at distal positions of aryl substituents. The new class of amino acid-derived ionic chiral catalysts enables desymmetrizing (enantiotopic-group-selective) Suzuki-Miyaura reaction, Sonogashira reaction, and Buchwald-Hartwig amination between diverse diarylmethane scaffolds and aryl, alkynyl, and amino coupling partners, providing rapid access to enantioenriched molecules that project substituents to widely spaced positions in the three-dimensional space. Experimental and computational investigations reveal electrostatic steering of substrates by the C-terminus of chiral ligands through ionic interactions. Cooperative ion-dipole interactions between the catalyst's amide group and potassium cation aid in the preorganization that transmits asymmetry to the product. This study demonstrates that it is practical to achieve precise long-range stereocontrol through engineering the spatial arrangements of the ionic catalysts' substrate-recognizing groups and metal centers.

Abstract
The spherulitic morphology is considered to be the most common morphology of crystalline materials and is particularly apparent in melt-crystallized products. Yet, historically, the polycrystalline nature of spherulites has hindered successful crystal structure determination. Here, we report the direct structure determination of a clinical drug, vemurafenib (VMN), in compact spherulite form using 3D electron diffraction (3D ED). VMN has four known polymorphs. We first solved the crystal structures of α-, β-, and γ-VMN from compact spherulites using 3D ED, and the resulting structures were highly consistent with those obtained by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. We then determined the crystal structure of δ-VMN-the least stable polymorph which cannot be cultivated as a single crystal-directly from the compact spherulite sample. We unexpectedly discovered a new polymorph during our studies, denoted as ε-VMN. Single crystals of ε-VMN are extremely thin and not suitable for study by X-ray diffraction. Again, we determined the structure of ε-VMN in a compact spherulite form. This successful structure elucidation of all five VMN polymorphs demonstrates the possibility of directly determining structures from melt-grown compact spherulite samples. Thereby, this discovery will improve the efficiency and broaden the scope of polymorphism research, especially within the field of melt crystallization.

With the aid of acetic acid, a 1,10-conjugate addition-mediated formal [3 + 3] cyclization of alkynyl indole imine methides formed in situ from α-(6-indolyl) propargylic alcohols with 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds such as 4-hydroxycoumarins and cyclohexane-1,3-diones was developed, which provided robust access to a wide range of pyranocoumarin and pyran derivatives containing an indole skeleton with high efficiency under mild conditions.

Abstract
A novel organocatalytic asymmetric formal [3 + 2] cycloaddition of 3-substituted 1H-indoles with in situ generated 3-hydroxy-isoindolinone-derived β,γ-alkynyl-α-ketimines has been developed. A variety of biologically relevant chiral spiro-isoindolinone-indolines were achieved with excellent yields (up to 99%) and enantioselectivity (up to 99% ee) under mild conditions. The gram-scale reaction of this methodology and several interesting transformations of the products have been demonstrated.

Abstract
Dual Brønsted/Lewis acid catalysis involving environmentally benign, readily accessible protic acid and iron promotes site-selective tert-butylation of electron-rich arenes using di-tert-butylperoxide. This transformation inspired the development of a synergistic Brønsted/Lewis acid catalyzed aromatic alkylation that fills a gap in the Friedel–Crafts reaction literature by employing unactivated tertiary alcohols as alkylating agents, leading to new quaternary carbon centers. Corroborated by DFT calculations, the Lewis acid serves a role in enhancing the acidity of the Brønsted acid. The use of non-allylic, non-benzylic, and non-propargylic tertiary alcohols represents an underexplored area in Friedel–Crafts reactivity. Dual Brønsted/Lewis acid catalysis involving environmentally benign, readily accessible protic acid and iron promotes site-selective tert-alkylation of arenes using di-tert-butylperoxide and tertiary alcohols.![]()
