“…At present, some achiral synthetic methods to prepare azaindolines have been reported, and most of them are mainly used to prepare 5- or 7-azaindolines. − In addition, three works relative to the enantioselective synthesis of azaindolines − have been reported. However, the asymmetric synthesis of 4-azaindolines has been rarely reported, and most of the existing synthetic methods are relatively complicated including intramolecular carbolithiation, ortho-directed lithiation of carbamate, acid-catalyzed annulation of aminopyridines, and C−H activation. , To the best of our knowledge, only one of them has been successfully used to synthesize 4-azaindolines with high enantioselectivity .…”
