title: Organocatalytic enantioselective synthesis of metabotropic glutamate receptor ligands.
abstract: (R)-Proline catalyzes the amination reaction of functionalized indane carboxaldehydes and allows for the efficient enantioselective synthesis (>99% ee) of the metabotropic glutamate receptor ligands (S)-AIDA and (S)-APICA. [reaction: see text]
