Diastereo- and enantioselective construction of chiral cyclopenta[<i>b</i>]indole framework <i>via</i> a catalytic asymmetric tandem cyclization of 2-indolymethanols with 2-naphthols

Abstract

The title reaction has been established in the presence of chiral phosphoric acids, which constructed chiral cyclopenta[<italic>b</italic>]indole frameworks in high stereoselectivities.
