Abstract

Enantioselective Conjugate Addition of Alkenylboronic Acids to Indole-Appended Enones. -It is found that (R)-3,3'-I2-BINOL and the derivative (R)-BIN efficiently promote the title reaction. Asymmetric addition of alkynylboronic esters is also possible. -(LUNDY, B. J.; JANSONE-POPOVA, S.; MAY*, J. A.; Org. Lett. 13 (2011) 18, 4958-4961, http://dx.doi.org/10.1021/ol2020847 ; Dep.
