title: Asymmetric synthesis of indole homo-Michael adducts via dynamic kinetic Friedel-Crafts alkylation with cyclopropanes.
abstract: An enantioconvergent Friedel-Crafts alkylation of indoles with donor-acceptor cyclopropanes is described. The reaction is catalyzed by pybox•MgI2 and proceeds via a type I dynamic kinetic asymmetric transformation (DyKAT).
