Abstract

Asymmetric Michael-type Friedel–Crafts (F–C) alkylations of indoles with nitroolefins catalyzed by a chiral H8-BINOL-based phosphoric acid were investigated. The reactions took place very smoothly in the presence of only 5 mol-% of catalyst at room temperature to afford the desired F–C alkylation products in good yields and with moderate enantioselectivities.
