Asymmetric ring-opening of 7-oxabenzonorbornadienes is achieved via Co-catalyzed indole C-H functionalization. The utilization of chiral Co-catalyst consisting of a binaphthyl-derived trisubstituted cyclopentadienyl ligand resulted in high yields (up to 99%) and excellent enantioselectivity (>99% ee) for the target products with tolerance for diverse functional groups. Opposite diastereoselectivities are obtained with chiral Co-catalyst or Cp*CoI<sub>2</sub>CO. Combined experimental and computat ...[more]
