Article Abstract
A new class of axially chiral biaryl pyridine ligands have been rationally designed and concisely prepared in two steps by Skraup-Doebner-Miller synthesis. Their proof-of-concept application in an enantioselective aza-Friedel-Crafts reaction between 2-methylindoles and isatin -Boc ketimines has been evaluated. Specifically partnered with AgOTf, the new ligands effectively catalysed the reaction with excellent enantioselectivities (up to 96% ee) and 71-94% yields, and a series of multifunctional chiral 3-indolyl 3-amino-oxindoles were successfully obtained. Compared with other noble metals and chiral ligands, this Ag(I)-B1 partner is highly stable, cost-effective, facile and easily available. This work has successfully demonstrated the good performance of a new kind of axially biaryl quinoline ligands and is the first example of a silver-catalysed enantioselective aza-Friedel-Crafts reaction between 2-methylindoles and isatin -Boc ketimines, and has thus enriched the application of silver salts in asymmetric catalysis.

A highly enantioselective aza-Friedel-Crafts reaction of benzothiophene-2,3-dione-derived ketimines and indoles catalyzed by BINOL-derived chiral phosphoric acid was developed for the first time. This protocol enabled the synthesis of structurally diverse enantiopure hybrid 3-indolylmethanamine-benzothiophenes featuring a chiral quaternary carbon center adjacent to both N and S atoms, achieving high yields and high to excellent enantioselectivities (up to 99% yield and 99% ee). The reaction exhibits broad substrate scope, high reactivity, simple operation, and mild conditions.

The functionalized 11-amino-indeno[1,2-]quinoxaline scaffold is a pivotal structural motif in diverse bioactive compounds. In this study, we developed a chiral phosphoric acid catalysed enantioselective aza-Friedel-Crafts reaction between indeno[1,2-]quinoxalin-11-imines and indoles. This methodology enables the synthesis of chiral hybrid architectures incorporating both 11-aminoindeno[1,2-]quinoxaline and indole moieties, achieving exceptional synthetic efficiency (up to 99% yield) with outstanding stereocontrol (up to 99% ee).

A highly stereoselective Brønsted-acid catalyzed synthesis of densely substituted spiroisoindolinones from enamides and 3-hydroxy-isoindolinones is described. With simple Brønsted-acids, such as para-toluene sulfonic acid, spiroisoindolinones with three contiguous stereogenic centers are formed in high yields (up to 97 %) and diastereoselectivities (up to >98 : <2 : 0 : 0 dr) under mild reaction conditions. With the use of a chiral phosphoric acid catalyst, a diastereo- and enantioselective synthesis of the corresponding spiroisoindolinones was achieved.

An efficient chiral phosphoric acid-catalyzed asymmetric aza Friedel-Crafts reaction of 3,4-dihydroisoquinolines and 1-naphthols is described. The reaction provides a general method for the synthesis of diverse chiral tetrahydroisoquinoline with 1-naphthol substituents at the C1-position in excellent yields and enantioselectivities. Based on the conducted mechanistic experiments, a plausible catalytic mechanism was proposed.
