The research has successfully developed an organocatalytic highly diastero- and enantioselective Friedel-Crafts conjugate addition method for adding indolizines to cyclopentenediones to obtain the desired products. The utility of the method was demonstrated through various late-stage functionalizations.
An organocatalytic highly diastero- and enantioselective Friedel-Crafts conjugate addition of indolizines to prochiral cyclopentenediones has been successfully developed. This desymmetric transformation provides a direct access to the desired indolizine-substituted cyclopentanediones in yields of 62-91% and excellent stereoselectivities. The utility of the approach was demonstrated by diverse late-stage functionalizations through reduction or oxidation. Importantly, the direct sp(2) C-H functionalization with nitromethane in one-pot process resulted in the indolizine-linked axially chiral styrene bearing a remote chiral center.
