Abstract
The 3-vinyl indole is used as a nucleophile to react with aromatic and aliphatic imines. Chiral 3-substituted indoles bearing multiple functional groups are produced with up to 99% yield, a 98:2 E/Z ratio, and 97% ee. A possible mechanism is proposed to explain the observed stereoselectivities. This strategy provides an efficient way for the preparation of novel chiral 3-substituted indoles.
