Highly enantioselective catalytic acyl-pictet-spengler reactions
Abstract
The enantioselective cyclization of N-acyliminium ions generated in situ from tryptamine is promoted with high enantioselectivity by a new chiral thiourea catalyst. This represents the first successful system for asymmetric catalysis of the Pictet-Spengler reaction.
