Abstract

We present the first enantioselective catalysis of the Friedel-Crafts reaction via activation of electron-rich multiple bonds by a chiral Brønsted acid. The reaction of various indole derivatives with a broad range of substituted enecarbamates affords the corresponding Friedel-Crafts products in high yield and enantioselectivity.
