The Pictet-Spengler reaction of nitrones and imines prepared from N-hydroxytryptamine and tryptamine gave the corresponding tetrahydro-β-carbolines in excellent yields in the presence of Yb(OTf)3-TMSCl in a mixture of CH2Cl2/su

The first example of a reagent-controlled enantioselective Pictet-Spengler reaction is demonstrated. Using diisopinocampheylchloroborane as a chiral Lewis acid catalyst, the Pictet-Spengler reaction of Nb-hydroxytryptamine with aldehydes gave the corresponding 2-hydroxytetrahydro-β-carbolines in up to 90% ee. The enantioselective Pictet-Spengler reaction catalyzed by chiral binaphthol-derived Br?nsted acid-assisted Lewis acids, with up to 91% ee, is also demonstrated.
