Abstract
TOP class: The first efficient catalytic asymmetric coupling reaction of indoles with isatin-derived nitroalkenes was accomplished by using a complex consisting of a chiral imidazoline aminophenol ligand (1; see scheme) and Cu(OTf)2. Biological activity of the newly formed chiral 3,3′-bisindoles was also confirmed in a Wnt signaling inhibitory assay.
