InBr3-catalyzed Friedel-Crafts addition of indoles to chiral aromatic epoxides: A facile route to enantiopure indolyl derivatives

Aromatic optically active epoxides can be opened in a regioselective and clean way with indoles in the presence of catalytic amount of InBr3 (1 mol %). The reaction takes place with a SN2 pathway affording the 2-aryl-2-(3′-indolyl)-ethan-l-ols with excellent enantioselectivity (ee up to 99%).

Regio- and enantioselective Friedel-Crafts reactions of indoles to epoxides catalyzed by graphene oxide: A green approach

Graphene oxide efficiently promotes high regio- and enantioselective ring opening reactions of aromatic epoxides by indoles addition, in solvent- and metal-free conditions. The Friedel-Crafts products were obtained with enantioselectivity up to 99% ee. Th
