Scheme 1. The applications of representative molecules containing C3-arylindole framework and our designed strategy for their asymmetric synthesis. (A) Bioactive molecules and chiral catalysts containing C3-arylindole scaffolds; (B) the asymmetric construction of biaryl aminoalcohols using iminoquinones reported by our group; (C) our strategy for organocatalytic enantioselective synthesis of 3-arylindole atropisomers with iminoquinones.
