ABSTRACT: Asymmetric dearomative [3 + 2] cycloaddition reactions of 3-nitroindoles with vinyl aziridine and vinyl cyclopropanes have been respectively successfully developed in the presence of a chiral box/Pd(0) complex. A series of enantiomerically enriched 3a-nitro-hexahydropyrrolo[2,3-b]indole and 8b-nitrohexahydrocyclopenta[b]indole derivatives containing three contiguous chiral centers are smoothly obtained in high yields with satisfactory regio-, chemo-, and enantioselectivity. Remarkably, the synthetic utility of this process was demonstrated through direct reductive amination and functionalization of the carbon−carbon double bond of the desired products.

INTRODUCTION Chiral indoline derivatives are one type of privileged and significant nitrogen-containing molecular scaffolds1 that are widely present in natural products and pharmacological compounds.2 In particular, the synthesis of 3a-aminopyrroloindolines and their corresponding derivatives, as the key intermediates for some natural and man-made alkaloid products, has attracted tremendous attention from synthetic and medicinal chemists (Figure 1).3 However, to the best of

our knowledge, the formation of the pyrroloindoline motif with a 3a-amino group in a catalytic asymmetric strategy generally remains a formidable challenge in organic chemistry. Only limited methodologies have been developed by employing catalytic asymmetric strategies to form the key pyrroloindoline substructures.4 In 2012, Antilla and co-workers first reported a chiral phosphoric acid-catalyzed enantioselective dearomatization reaction, furnishing enantiomerically enriched 3a-aminopyrroloindoline derivatives (Scheme 1a).4a Then Toste et al. reported a highly effective and reliable approach for the synthesis of C3-diazenated pyrroloindolines from simple tryptamines and aryldiazonium tetrafluoroborates (Scheme 1b).4b Subsequently, the desired 3a-aminohexahydropyrrolo[2,3-b]indole scaffolds were established through a reduction reaction (Scheme 1b).5 Later, You and co-workers4c developed an elegant dearomative amination of tryptamines, providing efficient access to chiral 3a-aminopyrroloindolines (Scheme 1c). Despite advances made thus far, the development of direct access to optically active 3a-aminopyrroloindoline derivatives remains a challenging topic. Recently, 3-nitroindoles, a class of potentially promising electrophilic alkenes of a new type, have emerged as powerful and versatile precursors for the construction of polycyclic indole structures.6 In 2014,7 Awata and Arai developed the first catalytic, enantioselective dearomative [3 + 2] cycloadditions of electrophilic indoles

with imino esters. Some related studies have also documented the stereoselective construction of structurally diverse polycyclic indoles.8 In addition, vinyl aziridines, offering a unique combination of reactivity, synthetic flexibility, and atom economy, are multifaceted building blocks for the construction of a number of nitrogen heterocyclics,9 but few successful examples are known for formation of pyrroloindoline derivatives.10 In 2017, Hyland et al. reported Pd(0)/BPhen complex-catalyzed [3 + 2] cycloaddition for diastereoselective synthesis of racemic 3a-nitropyrroloindolines and cyclopenta[b]indolines in high yields.11 Furthermore, the Pd-catalyzed ring opening of vinyl aziridines or vinyl cyclopropanes can convert racemic starting materials to enantioenriched products through a dynamic kinetic asymmetric transformation (DYKAT).12 In contrast to a kinetic resolution, the DYKAT process has provided an access to synthetic efficiency and atom economy of a reaction by the use of all the starting material.13 On the basis of our long-standing interest in construction of chiral indole derivatives,14 we designed a Pd-catalyzed dearomative cycloaddition process for enantioselective and diastereoselective construction of optically active 3anitrohexahydropyrrolo[2,3-b]indole and 8bnitrohexahydrocyclopenta[b]indole derivatives by the reactions of 3-nitroindoles with vinyl aziridine or vinyl cyclopropanes, which can facilely convert to 3a-aminopyrroloindoline derivatives through sequential reduction amination.

Typical Experimental Procedure for Reaction of 3-Nitroindole and Vinyl Cyclopropane. Under N2 atmosphere, Pd(dba)2 (0.005 mmol, 5 mol %) and L8 (0.006 mmol, 6 mol %) were charged into a flame-dried vessel, and PhF (1 mL) was added via syringe. The resulting mixture was stirred at room temperature for 0.5 h. Then the substrates 1 (0.1 mmol) and 2b (0.12 mmol, 1.2 equiv) were introduced into the vessel. The reaction mixture was stirred at 25 °C until the reactant 1 was consumed (detected by TLC). Upon completion as determined by TLC analysis, the solvent was removed under reduced pressure. The reaction mixture was directly loaded onto a silica gel column and purified by flash column chromatography to afford the desired cycloadduct. The racemic samples described in this work were synthesized according to the above procedure, which was catalyzed by Pd(dba)2 with mixed L8 and ent-L8 as ligands. 3,3-Dibenzyl 4-Ethyl (1R,3aR,8bS)-8b-Nitro-1-vinyl-1,2,3a,8btetrahydrocyclopenta[b]indole-3,3,4-tricarboxylate (4a/4a′). 51.3 mg, 90% yield, white solid, mp 80−81 °C; 2:1 dr, 91% and 65% ee.
