Abstract
AbstractConstruction of contiguous all‐carbon quaternary stereogenic centers is a long‐standing challenge in synthetic organic chemistry. In this report, a phosphine‐catalyzed enantioselective (3+2) annulation reaction between allenes and isoindigos, containing either two identical or different oxindole moieties, is introduced as a powerful strategy for the construction of spirocyclic bisindoline alkaloid core structures. The reported reactions feature high chemical yields, excellent enantioselectivities, and very good regioselectivities, and are highly useful for creating structurally challenging bisindoline natural products.
