Abstract A quinine‐derived thiourea organocatalyst promoted the highly enantioselective addition of naphthols and activated phenols to ketimines derived from isatins. The reaction afforded chiral 3‐amino‐2‐oxindoles with a quaternary stereocenter in high yields (up 99 %) excellent enantioselectivity % ee ). To best our knowledge, this transformation is first ketimines.

The first general catalytic method for the, so far elusive, enantioselective Friedel–Crafts functionalization of indoles in the carbocyclic ring is presented. This transformation contrasts with usual tendency these heterocycles to react at azole ring. For this purpose, four regioisomeric hydroxy carbocyclic-substituted were reacted several isatin-derived ketimines, using a Cinchona alkaloid-based squaramide, low 0.5–5 mol % catalyst loading, as bifunctional catalyst. methodology allows every...

Self-assembly of 1,4-phenylenebis(oxamate) and 4,4'-biphenylenebis(oxamate) ligands Cu2+ ions gives two new dinuclear copper(II) metallacyclophanes where the metal centers are connected by double para-substituted aromatic diamide bridges. Despite relatively large intramolecular Cu−Cu distance ca. 8 12 Å for each complex, magnetic susceptibility measurements evidence strong to moderately antiferromagnetic couplings (−J values order 100 10 cm-1, respectively). Density functional theory...

A Cinchona-derived squaramide catalyzes the reaction between hydroxyindoles and isatins leading to enantioenriched indoles substituted in carbocyclic ring. The proceeds efficiently with differently isatins, yielding desired products excellent regioselectivity, good yields, high enantiocontrol. Moreover, every position of ring indole can be functionalized by using appropriate starting hydroxyindole. OH group was removed smoothly upon hydrogenolysis corresponding triflate.
