Abstract

Abstract: An unexpected homologation/dyotropic rearrangement/interconversion/[3+2] cycloaddition cascade reaction of α‐diazoester‐terminated N‐propyl‐substituted isatin derivatives was achieved in the presence of a chiral N, N′‐dioxide/Sc III catalyst. This catalytic manifold allows rapid construction of several classes of dimeric polycyclic compounds with good yields and high levels of diastereo‐ and enantioselectivity (up to 99 % ee ). Furthermore, macrocyclic dimers can be obtained by an intermolecular homologation process.
