An enantioselective epoxidation of tryptophols followed by an intramolecular epoxide opening reaction was realized by chiral vanadium catalysts derived from C2 symmetric bis-hydroxamic acid (BHA) ligands. 3a-Hydroxyfuroindoline derivatives with up to 89% yield and 90% ee were obtained under mild reaction conditions.

A novel method is presented for the one-pot synthesis of substituted 3-(2-hydroxyethyl)- and 3-(3-hydroxypropyl)indoles (tryptophols and homotryptophols) from aryl hydrazines and silyl-protected ω- (hydroxyoalkyl)alkynes. Various tryptophol derivatives were prepared directly in good yield with excellent regioselectivity via a domino reaction sequence consisting of a titanium-catalyzed hydroamination of the alkyne, [3+3]-rearrangement of the resulting aryl hydrazone, and subsequent deprotection of the hydroxy group.
