Enantioselective indole N-H functionalization enabled by addition of carbene catalyst to indole aldehyde at remote site

An enantioselective functionalization of the indole NH group is developed. The reaction stereoselectivity is controlled by an N-heterocyclic carbene catalyst that adds to an aldehyde moiety at the C7-carbon of indole. The NH group participating in the carbene-catalyzed reaction is part of the hetero...
