Abstract

An efficient diastereo- and enantioselective Friedel-Crafts alkylation of indoles with 3-nitro-2H-chromenes catalyzed by diphenylamine-linked bis(oxazoline) and bis(thiazoline) Zn(II) complexes has been developed. This asymmetric Friedel-Crafts alkylation led to medicinally privileged indolyl(nitro)chromans in good yields with high enantioselectivities (up to 95% ee) and diastereoselectivities under mild reaction conditions.
