–Crafts-type alkylation of α,β-unsaturated aldehydes followed by an α-oxyamination was realized. The reaction in aqueous solvent to promote the enzymatic oxidation, and the use of a peptide catalyst compatible with such conditions, were essential. The present sequential reaction afforded oxygen

Indole derivatives represent a class of biologically active compounds [1][2][3], and
FCAA reaction toward α,β-unsaturated aldehydes through iminium intermediates [32][37], and an asymmetric α-oxyamination of aldehydes via enamines [33], they are expected to be suitable for a one-pot sequential reaction to make the chiral indoles mentioned above. Herein, we report on an enantioselective
