This paper reported the reaction of indoles with trifluoromethyl pyruvate catalyzed by heteroaryliden-tethered bis-oxazoline-Cu(II) complex, and the effects of ligand structure, solvent, temperature and different indole substrates on the catalytic reactions were investigated. The results indicate that the reaction furnished high reactivity and moderate to good enantioselectivity, and the substituents on the indole ring have important impact on the reaction. The reaction can afford the indole derivatives with a chiral tertiary carbon center bearing trifluoromethyl substituent in high yields with moderate to good enantioselectivities.
