Design of C 1-symmetric tridentate ligands for enantioselective dearomative [3 + 2] annulation of indoles with aminocyclopropanes

Abstract Chiral polycyclic indolines are widely present in natural products and have become the focus of extensive synthetic efforts. Here, we show the catalytic asymmetric dearomative [3 + 2] annulation of indoles with donor-acceptor aminocyclopropanes to construct tricyclic indolines. Key to the s...
