title: Stereoselective synthesis of axially chiral N-C bonds in N-aryl indoles.
abstract: [reaction: see text] N-Aryl indoles with axially chiral N-C bonds were synthesized by stereoselective nucleophilic aromatic substitution reactions of planar chiral arene chromium complexes. Stereoselective chromium tricarbonyl migration was achieved in the sterically hindered N-aryl indole chromium complex by refluxing in toluene.
