Atroposelective Nenitzescu Indole Synthesis

Chemistry - A European Journal, vol. 29, pp. e202300780

Abstract

Invited for the cover of this issue is the group of Frederic W. Patureau at the RWTH Aachen University. The image depicts atropoisomerism, in particular through the helix-shaped vines in the forefront focus. This metaphorically illustrates the importance of atroposelectivity in biologically active molecules, such as in the 5-hydroxyindoles that were accessed through the first enantioselective Nenitzescu indole synthesis.
