“…[7] Recently, indole-based imine methides, typically generated from indolylmethanols, have proven to be versatile in providing direct access to enantioenriched indole derivatives by organocatalysis, particularly with nucleophiles because of their intrinsic electrophilic nature. [8] Various asymmetric reaction modes of indole-based imine methides have been documented, [8] especially on cycloaddition [9] and either 1,4-or 1,6-conjugate addition. [10] However, among these examples, limited success was achieved for remote asymmetric addition (e.g., 1,8-addition), which is undoubtedly an inherent challenge because of issues like regioselectivity and stereocontrol.…”
