title: Catalytic asymmetric Friedel-Crafts/protonation of nitroalkenes and N-heteroaromatics.
abstract: The catalytic asymmetric Friedel-Crafts/protonation of indoles and pyrroles with α-substituted nitroalkenes to give the corresponding adducts in a highly anti-selective manner was achieved by an imidazoline-aminophenol (L2)-Cu complex. The anti-adducts could be successfully transformed to biochemically important α-substituted β-heteroarylalkylamines.
