Abstract
You can count on the anion: Simply swapping the anions of an indium Lewis acid leads to a remarkable regioselectivity switch between asymmetric 1,2- and 1,4-addition reactions. N-protected indoles and β,γ-unsaturated α-keto esters gave adducts with excellent enantioselectivity (see scheme).
