Abstract

The copper(II)-catalyzed enantioselective aza-Friedel-Crafts reaction of indoles with isatin-derived N-Boc-ketimines was developed by using tunable chiral O-N-N tridentate ligands derived from BINOL and proline. In general, the reaction afforded chiral 3-indolyl-3-aminooxindoles under mild conditions in high yields (83-97%) with excellent ee (69-99%).
