Pyrroloindolines are widely present in natural products. In this review, we summarize state-of-the-art of catalytic asymmetric synthesis of pyrroloindolines, as well as related applications to natural products total synthesis.
A highly enantioselective [4 + 2] cycloaddition reaction of 1-azadienes with 3-vinylindoles, catalyzed by chiral phosphoric acid has been developed to furnish a range of benzofuran-fused tetrahydropyridines with three contiguous stereogenic centers.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
