The first catalytic enantioselectiveFriedel–Craftsalkylation of indoles with α,β-unsaturated trifluoromethyl ketones has been accomplished. The reaction was achieved in the presence of the Dy(OTf)3/Pybox complex, producing the desired products in high yields (up to 99%) with good enantioselectivities (up to 86% ee). The absolute stereochemistry of the resulting adducts was determined by X-ray analysis
