Abstract
Abstract The reaction of cinnamyl chloride with indole in the presence of a ruthenium catalyst possessing a planar-chiral cyclopentadienyl ligand resulted in the substitution at the 3-position of the indole ring to give a branched allylation product with high regio- and enantioselectivities. The stoichiometric reaction clearly revealed that the catalytic reaction proceeded via a π-cinnamyl intermediate.
