Abstract
We report a palladium-catalyzed asymmetric [4+4] cycloaddition reaction between 2-alkylidenetrimethylene carbonate and electron-deficient indole-2,3-quinodimethanes (IQDMs). This reaction features exclusive regioselectivity, high yield (up to 98%), excellent enantioselectivity (up to 95% ee), and easy scale-up without any loss of efficiency, making it valuable for the synthesis of indole-fused eight-membered oxa-rings.
