Abstract
The enantioselective Friedel-Crafts alkylation of indoles with iminochromenes catalyzed by a bifunctional thiourea organocatalyst was investigated. This reaction afforded chiral functionalized 2-amino-4-(indol-3- yl)-4H-chromenes in good yields (up to 87% yield) and with moderate to good enantioselectivities (up to 86% ee).
