Abstract

The Friedel‐Crafts alkylation of indoles with nitroacrylates could provide α‐ and β‐tryptophan nitro‐precursors, respectively, in moderate to good yields under Lewis acid catalysis. The diastereoselectivities of the reaction were enhanced by using 2‐substituted indoles. The alkylation products could be easily transformed to nonnatural tryptophan derivatives.

## Abstract magnified image The Lewis base‐Lewis base bifunctional catalytic system has been developed and successfully applied to the asymmetric Friedel–Crafts alkylation of indoles with α,β‐unsaturated aldehydes. The reactions are promoted by chiral diphenylprolinol trimethylsilyl ether in the p
