Abstract

An efficient method to construct enantioenriched spiro[benzofuro-cyclopenta[1,2-b]indole–indoline] scaffolds via consecutive cyclization is described here. The new scaffolds possess five successive chiral stereogenic centers and two spiroheterocycles. A range of highly enantioenriched scaffolds has been obtained with up to 93% yield, 99% ee and >19?:?1 d.r. catalyzed by Br?nsted acid catalysts.
