New Yb(OTf)3-pyridylalkylamine complexes have been employed as chiral Lewis acids in the enantioselective FriedelâCrafts alkylation of indole derivatives with trifluoropyruvates. The influence of the substituents as well as the configuration of the ligands have been studied and allowed us to reach enantiomeric excesses up to 83%.
