Abstract

The chiral triarylmethane frameworks are featured in many biologically important molecules. As a result, the synthesis of chiral triarylmethanes has received tremendous attention from the chemists. Herein, we reported the chiral phosphoric acid catalyzed dehydrative arylation of 3-indolylmethanols with tryptophols, leading to the efficient synthesis of a series of structurally diversified chiral bisindolyl-substituted triarylmethanes in moderate to good yields (up to 80% yield) with acceptable enantioselectivities (up to 88% ee). The chiral phosphoric acid played an important role not only in the dehydration of 3-indolylmethanols, but also in the control of enantioselectivity via hydrogen-bonding and ion-pairing interactions. The only byproduct was water, indicating that this catalytic asymmetric dehydrative arylation reaction was environment-friendly and in accordance with the requirements of green chemistry. In addition, the mild reaction condition and wide substrate scope of the reaction have successfully demonstrated the great potential of organocatalysis in the chiral triarylmethanes.

Key words: triarylmethanes, organocatalysis, 3-indolylmethanols, tryptophols, green chemistry
