In combination with the advantages of organocatalysis, we have developed a highly enantioselective Friedel-Crafts aminoalkylation of indoles with imines generated in situ from trifluoroacetaldehyde methyl hemiacetal and aniline. Novel chiral trifluoromethyl-containing compounds were obtained in high yields with excellent enantioselectivities. This methodology was further extended to difluoroacetaldehyde methyl hemiacetal to demonstrate the broad scope of substrates.
