Abstract

Mannich-type Friedel-Crafts reaction between indoles and ethyl glyoxylate imines proceeded spontaneously in the absence of an acid catalyst. Ethyl α-(3-indolyl)glycinates were obtained in moderate to high yields. Reaction with (R)-α-methylbenzylamine derived imine afforded chiral α-(3-indolyl)glycinates with good diastereoselectivities (up to 96:4).
