Indole alkaloids are ubiquitous heterocycles found in plants, animals, marine organisms, and they serve as privileged scaffolds that mediate diverse biological functions. Particularly interesting are arylated indoles exhibiting atropisomerism due to hindered rotation around a σ-bond. Heterobiaryl indoles having a homochiral axis are found in natural products and medicinal agents and as novel scaffolds for asymmetric catalysis (Scheme 1A). Consequently, tremendous efforts have been focused on the atropselective synthesis of heterobiaryl indoles.
