title: A heterotrimetallic Pd-Sm-Pd complex for asymmetric Friedel-Crafts alkylations of pyrroles with nitroalkenes.
abstract: Catalytic asymmetric Friedel-Crafts alkylations of pyrroles and nitroalkenes were carried out by using a novel heterotrimetallic Pd-Sm-Pd catalyst based on a simple chiral ligand 1, to give the adducts with high yields and up to 93% ee.
