Abstract
A catalytic enantioselective Friedel-Crafts alkylation of indoles with aromatic α,β-unsaturated aldehydes has been developed. The process is promoted by (S)-diphenylprolinol trimethyl silyl ether to afford, after sodium borohydride mediated reduction, 3-indolyl-3-phenylpropanols in high enantioselectivities and good yields.
