Abstract

A protocol of enantioselective dearomatization of 2,3-disubstituted indoles by an organocatalytic intermolecular (4 + 2) cycloaddition reaction with in situ generated vinylidene ortho-quinone methide has been documented. A wide range of polycyclic 2,3-fused indolines containing vicinal quaternary carbon stereocenters was readily prepared in high yields and with excellent diastereo- and enantioselectivities.
