Abstract

Indole-containing structures are ubiquitous in natural products, medicinal compounds, and organic materials.[1] Given their biomedical importance, synthetic methods towards these structural motifs remain relevant even after decades of innovations.[2] However, despite all the efforts toward the efficient construction of C3-quaternary indole derivatives, significant challenges remain.[3] These challenges are found in the forms of spirooxindole, ...
