Abstrakt: Ring opening reactions of meso -aziridines generate chiral amine derivatives where the control of stereochemistry is possible through enantioselective catalysis. We report the use of a diphosphine-palladium(II) catalyst for the highly enantioselective desymmetrization of N -acylaziridines with indoles. The β-tryptamine products are isolated in moderate to high yield across a range of indole and aziridine substitution patterns. The synthetic utility of β-tryptamine products is demonstrated by conversion to the brominated pyrroloindoline derivative.
