Abstract
AbstractThe first enantioselective construction of a new class of axially chiral naphthyl‐indole skeletons has been established by organocatalytic asymmetric coupling reactions of 2‐naphthols with 2‐indolylmethanols (up to 99 % yield, 97:3 e.r.). This approach not only affords a new type of axially chiral heterobiaryl backbone, but also provides a new catalytic enantioselective strategy for constructing axially chiral biaryl scaffolds by making use of the C3‐electrophilicity of 2‐indolylmethanols.
