Catalytic enantioselective C–H functionalization of indoles with α-diazopropionates using chiral dirhodium(II) carboxylates: asymmetric synthesis of the (+)-α-methyl-3-indolylacetic acid fragment of acremoauxin A

An enantioselective C–H functionalization of N-methoxymethyl (MOM)-protected 2,3-unsubstituted indoles with α-diazopropionates has been effected via catalysis by dirhodium(II) tetrakis[N-phthaloyl-(S)-triethylalaninate], Rh2((S)-PTTEA)4, providing α-methyl-3-indolylacetates in high yields and with enantioselectivities of up to 86% ee. The effectiveness of this protocol was demonstrated by the first catalytic asymmetric synthesis of the (+)-α-methyl-3-indolylacetic acid fragment of acremoauxin A, a potent plant-growth inhibitor. Furthermore, the Fujioka protocol using a combination of TMSOTf and 2,2′-bipyridyl was shown to be superior for the removal of the N-MOM group.
