An efficient method for the construction of hydrocarbazoles bearing three continuous sterically hindered stereocenters, two quaternary and one tertiary, via a highly diastereoselective palladium-catalyzed [4 + 2]-cycloaddition/dearomatization of 3-nitroindoles has been developed. The cycloaddition of 3-nitroindoles occurs at ambient conditions with a 1,4-zwitterionic intermediate, in situ generated from γ-methylidene-δ-valerolactones. The further synthetic utility of this method is demonstrated by the multifaceted transformations possible from the products. The catalytic asymmetric aspect of this transformation has also been explored.

Until now, palladium-catalyzed dearomative Heck reactions of indoles were largely limited to β-H elimination and nucleophilic capture of the transient alkyl-Pd(II) species. Herein, we disclose a novel palladium-catalyzed dearomative Heck/C(sp)-H activation/decarboxylative cyclization of C2-tethered indoles. In this protocol, the alkyl-Pd(II) species formed by dearomatization of C2-tethered indoles is not terminated by common β-H elimination or nucleophilic capture, but rather generates ,-palladacycle via C-H activation.

Creating artificial enzymes by the genetic incorporation of noncanonical amino acids with catalytic side chains would expand the enzyme chemistries that have not been discovered in nature. Here, we report the design of an artificial enzyme that uses -boronophenylalanine as the catalytic residue. The artificial enzyme catalyzes Michael-type Friedel-Crafts alkylation through covalent activation.

A palladium-catalyzed dearomative diarylation of C2-deuterated or C2-nonsubstituted indoles through domino Heck/Suzuki coupling is established. Relying on electron-deficient phosphite ligand, side reactions including intermolecular Suzuki coupling and intramolecular C-D/H arylation are inhibited and a wide range of 2,3-diarylated indolines bearing vicinal tertiary stereocenters including deuterated ones are afforded in moderate to excellent yields (up to 94%) and excellent diastereoselectivities (>20:1). The catalyst loading can be lowered to 0.

ConspectusPalladium catalysis, as one of the most important strategies in asymmetric synthesis, has continuously attracted the attention of organic chemists. With the development of chiral ligands, increasingly challenging reactions and substantial progress in asymmetric catalysis are being realized.Since 2014, we have focused on exploiting a series of sulfinamide phosphine ligands called "Sadphos," including Ming-Phos, Xu-Phos, Xiao-Phos, Xiang-Phos, TY-Phos, PC-Phos, GF-Phos, and WJ-Phos.
