An Efficient Approach to 2-CF<sub>3</sub>-Indoles Based on <i>ortho</i>-Nitrobenzaldehydes

The catalytic olefination reaction of 2-nitrobenzaldehydes with CF<sub>3</sub>CCl<sub>3</sub> afforded stereoselectively trifluoromethylated <i>ortho</i>-nitrostyrenes in up to 88% yield. The reaction of these alkenes with pyrrolidine permits preparation of α-CF&l...
