Highly Enantioselective Ring-Opening Reactions of Aziridines with Indole and
19- 048 Its Application in the Building of C3-Halogenated Pyrroloindolines. — A magne-
sium-catalyzed asymmetric ring-opening reaction of aziridine with indole is realized
by employing commercially available chiral ligands. The ring-opening product can
be further transformed to various types of enantioenriched C3-halogenated-pyrrolo-
indolines. — (YANG, D.; WANG, L.; HAN, F.; LI, D.; ZHAO, D.; CAO, Y.; MA, Y.;
