Asymmetric synthesis of spirofuro[2,3-b]azepine-5,3′-indoline derivativesviacycloisomerization/[4 + 3] annulation process under Au/N-heterocyclic carbene relay catalysis

A variety of enantioenriched spirofuro[2,3- b ]azepine-5,3’-indoline derivatives were synthesized via Au(I)/chiral NHC relay catalyzed cycloisomerization/asymmetric [4+3] annulation.
