Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="main" xml:lang="en"> <title>Abstract</title> <p>Highly enantioselective [3+2] coupling of 3‐substituted indoles with quinone monoimines promoted by a chiral phosphoric acid has been reported. A large variety of benzofuroindolines were prepared in moderate to good yields (up to 98 %) with generally excellent enantioselectivities (up to 99 % <italic>ee</italic>).</p> </abstract>
