Chiral phosphoramide-catalyzed enantioselective synthesis of 2,3′-diindolylarylmethanes from indol-2-yl carbinols and indoles

Article abstract of DOI:10.1039/c4cc03605k

We present the first asymmetric reaction of indol-2-yl carbinols with indole derivatives catalyzed by chiral phosphoramides for the enantioselective synthesis of 2,3′-diindolylarylmethanes in excellent yields of over 90% as well as high enantioselectivity
