Abstract

AbstractThe first Ni(II)‐catalyzed asymmetric [4+2] cycloaddition of silyloxyvinylindoles with 2‐enoyl pyridines was successfully accomplished by using a diphenylmethylidene‐tethered bis(oxazoline). A series of optically active hydrocarbazole derivatives with three contiguous stereocenters were achieved in good yield with both high diastereo‐(>20 : 1) and enantioeselectivities (up to 97 % ee) under mild conditions. Moreover, various 2‐enoyl azaarenes were compatible with the reaction. A proposed mechanism was deducted.
