A highly selective rhodium-catalyzedcyclization of tethered 3-allenylindoles is reported. In a smooth reaction, 1-vinyltetrahydrocarbazoles are obtained in excellent yields and enantioselectivities. Aside from a great functional group tolerance, this method requires neither the Schlenk technique nor the use of anhydrous solvents. Preliminary mechanistic investigations proved that the reaction proceeds

Herein, chiral Brønsted acid-catalyzed intramolecularasymmetricallylicalkylation of indoles with allylic primary alcohols is described. The allyl alcohols were directly employed as the allylic precursors in this metal-free protocol, without preactivation or any additional activating reagents. This method provides the convenient synthesis of a broad range of functionalized tetrahydrocarbazoles in
