- defined geometry. Introducing a new motif, Shea et al. have synthesized achiral tridentate (thio)phosphorus triamides and assessed their catalytic activity relative to the established (m-(CF3)2-Ph)2thiourea [18]. In the Friedel–Crafts reaction of N-methylindole with β-nitrostyrene and the Baylis–Hillman

- subsequent Friedel–Crafts reaction (Scheme 6). Both compounds were isolated as single stereoisomers with a high overall yield [43]. In this case, the 5-exo pathway was more competitive compared to the result of model substrate 1a, probably due to the Thorpe–Ingold-type effect caused by the methyl group at
