The evolution of a more reactive chiral vanadium catalyst for enantioselective oxidative coupling of phenols is reported, ultimately resulting in a simple monomeric vanadium species combined with a Br?nsted or Lewis acid additive. The resultant vanadium complex is found to effect the asymmetric oxidative ortho-ortho coupling of simple phenols and 2-hydroxycarbazoles with good to excellent levels of enantioselectivity. Experimental and quantum mechanical studies of the mechanism indicate that the additives aggregate the vanadium monomers. In addition, a singlet to triplet crossover is implicated prior to carbon-carbon bond formation. The two lowest energy diastereomeric transition states leading to the enantiomeric products differ substantially with the path to the minor enantiomer involving greater torsional strain between the two phenol moieties.

(Chemical Equation Presented) N-H carbazoles can be produced from 2-chloroanilines and aryl bromides via consecutive catalytic amination and C-H activation. In many instances, this can be done in a tandem manner in one pot. The methodologies developed can be used in the synthesis of a range of carbazoles, including the natural products Clausine P and glycozolidine and a precursor in the synthesis of Clausines H, K, O, and 7-methoxy-O-methylmukonal, and can be extended to the synthesis of indoles.
