Vanadium-catalyzed enantioselective Friedel-Crafts-type reactions

Dalton Trans. 2013 Sep 7;42(33):11787-90. doi: 10.1039/c2dt32202a.

Abstract

Vanadium-mediated enantioselective Friedel-Crafts (FC)-type reactions were established using the dinuclear vanadium complex (R(a),S,S)-1a. The vanadium complex promoted the FC-type reaction of imines with 2-naphthols or indoles to give corresponding adducts with high enantioselectivities.
