Abstract
Enantioselective calcium-catalyzed addition reactions of styrene and indole derivatives with trifluoropyruvates have been developed. The alkaline-earth metal-catalyzed reactions proceed smoothly to afford the corresponding products in high yields and with good to excellent enantioselectivities under mild reaction conditions.
