Abstract
The synthesis of fully substituted α-N-pyrrolyl and indolyl ketones via enantioselective palladium-catalyzed allylic alkylation is described. The acyclic ketones are alkylated in high yields with high enantioselectivities through the use of an electron-deficient phosphinooxazoline ligand, furnishing a highly congested and synthetically challenging stereocenter. The obtained alkylation products contain multiple reactive sites poised for additional functionalizations and diversification.
