Construction of central and axial chirality via Pd(ii)/Bim-catalyzed asymmetric dearomative Michael reaction of polycyclic tropones

Abstract

A highly enantioselective Pd/Bim-catalyzed dearomative Michael reaction applying polycyclic tropones as non-benzenoid aromatic Michael acceptors and arylboronic acids as aryl pronucleophiles has been developed. The bridged biaryls bearing central and axial chirality, including pentacyclic cyclohepta[b]indoles and 6,7-dihydrodibenzo[a,c][7]annulen-5-ones, are generally generated in good to high yields and excellent enantioselectivities and can be readily transformed into useful derivatives.
