Domino processes initiated by intramolecular nucleopalladation of alkynes have been developed into powerful synthetic tools for the synthesis of functionalized heterocycles. However, a catalytic enantioselective version of this class of reactions remains scarce. We report herein that reaction of 2-alkynylanilines with prochiral cyclopentenes in the presence of a catalytic amount of Pd(OAc)2 , a chiral bidentate pyrox ligand and O2 as terminal oxidant affords the structurally diverse indole-cyclopentene conjugates bearing two stereocenters in a highly diaste
