Pd-Catalyzed Asymmetric Synthesis of Chiral 2-Trifluoromethyl-4-(indol-3-yl)-4<i>H</i>-chromene Derivatives
This paper presents a new strategy for the construction of the chiral 4<i>H</i>-chromene skeleton. A series of chiral 2-trifluoromethyl-4-(indol-3-yl)-4<i>H</i>-chromenes were synthesized in moderate to good yields (60-92%) with excellent enantioselectivity (up to 97% ee) through the palladium-catalyzed asymmetric condensation of 2<i>H</i>-chromenes and indoles. These trifluoromethylated, stereochemically rich building blocks hold potential value in medicinal chemistry.
