Atropisomeric biaryl motifs are ubiquitous in chiral catalysts and ligands. Numerous efficient strategies have been developed for the synthesis of axially biaryls. In contrast, asymmetric construction o-quinone-aryl atropisomers has yet to be realized.

Structurally novel atropisomeric arylindole frameworks have been successfully constructed through chiral phosphoric acid-catalyzed asymmetric cross-coupling of indoles and quinone derivatives in a precise regioselective manner. This approach features high convergence functional group tolerance to efficiently deliver diverse heteroaryl atropisomers with excellent enantiocontrol. The dominant formation axial chirality but not central chirality, as the major unmet challenge for this type...

Comprehensive Summary Indole‐based atropisomers are a very important class of axially chiral compounds. However, the atroposelective synthesis 2‐arylindole remains largely unexplored. In this study, we report successful atropisomeric 2‐arylindoles using direct amination indoles with p ‐quinonediimines in presence phosphoric acid as catalyst. Quinonediimine acts an aminating reagent through formal polarity inversion imine. The malonate group on 2‐aryl 2‐indoles was found to be essential for...
