Abstract
Cu-catalyzed enantioseletive conjugate addition of a dimethylphenylsilyl group to indol-1-ylacrylate derivatives was established using N-Heterocyclic Carbenes (NHCs) as the ligands. The reaction was efficient for a wide range of indole derivatives bearing eletron-donating and electron-withdrawing group, and proceeded under mild condition. Good levels of enantioselectivity were also observed for diverse carbonyl derivatives.
