ChemInform Abstract: Enantioselective Organocatalytic Construction of Hexahydropyrroloindole by Means of α-Alkylation of Aldehydes Leading to the Total Synthesis of (+)-Gliocladin C.

This method uses a chiral primary amine and a chiral phosphoric acid as an organocatalytic system to yield the products (III) with high enantioselectivities. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
