Abstract

An efficient Brønsted acid-catalyzed asymmetric Friedel-Crafts alkylation of indoles with benzothiazole-bearing trifluoromethyl ketone hydrates as electrophiles has been developed. The mild organocatalytic reactions proceeded well with low catalyst loading to afford a range of enantioenriched α-trifluoromethyl tertiary alcohols containing both benzothiazole and indole rings with excellent yields and enantioselectivities.
