Direct enantioselective Bronsted acid catalyzed N-acyliminium cyclization cascades of tryptamines and ketoacids.

A direct enantio- and diastereoselective N-acyliminium cyclization cascade through chiral phosphoric acid catalyzed condensation of tryptamines with γ- and δ-ketoacid derivatives to provide architecturally complex heterocycles has been developed. The reaction is technically simple to perform, atom-e...
