An Ir-catalyzed asymmetric allylic alkylation of 3-substituted indoles is reported. The reaction provides indoline products containing multiple contiguous stereocenters with high site-, regio-, diastereo- and enantioselectivities in one step from a wide range of readily available starting materials. The key to this method is the high level of diastereocontrol enabled by an iridium catalyst derived from a <i>N</i>-aryl phosphoramidite ligand (Me-THQphos, <b>1c</b>). ...[more]
