Abstract

A highly enantioselective Michael addition reaction of indolylnitroalkenes with 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds has been developed to obtain enantiomerically enriched 3-(2-nitro-1-(1-tosyl-1H-indol-3-yl)ethyl)pentane-2,4-dione derivatives in up to 98% ee using BnCPN as an organocatalyst. The transition state structure has been predicted using DFT calculation.
