Abstract
A variety of 5-indo-1-yl pyran-2-ones with an N−C axis were prepared via a carbene-catalyzed oxidative [3+3] annulation of indole-1-pyruvate esters and enals. Asymmetric construction of pyran-2-one ring from enals ensures the realization of this strategy. The resulting compounds were converted into axially chiral N-arylindoles with an N−C axis via a cycloaddtion aromatization.
