The Pictet-Spengler reaction is a fundamental named reaction in organic chemistry, and it is the most straightforward method for the synthesis of tetrahydro-β-carbolines, a core structure embedded in numerous alkaloids. Spiroindolenines are often proposed as possible intermediates in Pictet-Spengler reactions. However, whether the spiroindolenine species is an intermediate in the mechanism of the asymmetric Pictet-Spengler reaction remains unclear.

We describe the design, synthesis, and characterization of a chiral hexacoordinated phosphate ion that features an octahedral P(V) core consisting of two N,N,O-tridentate backbones. We further demonstrate that the corresponding hydrogen phosphate acts as an effective catalyst for a highly enantioselective Pictet-Spengler-type reaction, wherein the relationship between the structure of the chiral phosphate ion and its ability to dictate the absolute stereochemistry is revealed in conjunction with precise structural elucidation of the phosphate ion.

A synthetic strategy for the synthesis of chiral tetrahydrocarbazoles (THCAs) has been developed. The strategy relies on two types of 6-exo-trig cyclization of 3-substituted indole substrates. Enantioselective domino Friedel-Crafts-type reactions leading to THCAs can be catalyzed by chiral phosphoric acid derivatives (with up to >99% ee), and the first examples of exocyclic Pictet-Spengler reactions to form THCAs are reported.

The first enantioselective synthesis of 5,6-dihydroindolo[1,2-a]quinoxalines is achieved by using a newly developed H8-BINOL-type imidodiphosphoric acid catalyst with low catalyst loading through efficient Pictet-Spengler-type reactions of indolyl anilines with ketones. This methodology also generates phenyl-4,5-dihydropyrrolo[1,2-a]quinoxalines with high yields and excellent enantioselectivities. Moreover, this method was utilized to synthesize an HIV-1 inhibitor with high yield and good enantioselectivity through a one-step procedure.

The regio- and enantioselective cyclization of pyrroles onto N-acyliminium ions generated in situ from hydroxylactams is reported. Modest to excellent ee's and yields are obtained in these novel Pictet-Spengler-type reactions with a chiral thiourea-pyrrole catalyst. Useful synthetic transformations of the versatile pyrroloindolizidinone and pyrroloquinolizidinone products are presented.
