Abstract

DFT studies were carried out to clarify the reaction mechanism and the stereocontrolling elements in the addition reaction of vinylindoles with azlactones catalyzed by a chiral phosphoric acid. The results suggest that the reaction proceeds via a six-membered transition state that is composed of the vinyl group of vinylindole and the enol moiety of azlactone.
