Abstract

AbstractOver the past years, the metal‐catalyzed dearomative cycloaddition of 3‐nitroindoles and 2‐nitrobenzofurans have emerged as a powerful protocol to construct chiral fused heterocyclic rings. However, organocatalytic dearomative reaction of these two classes of heteroarenes has become a long‐standing challenging task. Herein, we report the first example of phosphine‐catalyzed asymmetric dearomative [3+2]‐cycloadditio of 3‐nitroindoles and 2‐nitrobenzofurans, which provide a new, facile, and efficient protocol for the synthesis of chiral 2,3‐fused cyclopentannulated indolines and dihydrobenzofurans by reacting with allenoates and MBH carbonates, respectively through a dearomative [3+2]‐cycloaddition.
