Organocatalytic C3-selective Friedel–Crafts alkylations of indoles with α,β-unsaturated ketones

Abstract

The use of an equimolar amount of pyrrolidine and HClO4 (30 mol%) was found to be effective in promoting the conjugate addition of indoles to (E)-α,β-unsaturated ketones, affording the corresponding β-indolyl ketones in excellent yields.
