Abstract
A method is described for the asymmetric synthesis of 4-substituted indoles from the Rh2(S-DOSP)4-catalyzed decomposition of vinyldiazoacetates in the presence of N-Boc-4-acetoxy-6,7-dihydroindole. The reaction proceeds via a combined C-H activation/Cope rearrangement-elimination mechanism resulting in good yields and very high asymmetric induction.Entities:
