The catalytic olefination reaction of 2-nitrobenzaldehydes with CF<sub>3</sub>CCl<sub>3</sub> afforded stereoselectively trifluoromethylated <i>ortho</i>-nitrostyrenes in up to 88% yield. The reaction of these alkenes with pyrrolidine permits preparation of α-CF<sub>3</sub>-β-(2-nitroaryl) enamines. Subsequent one pot reduction of nitro-group by Fe-AcOH-H<sub>2</sub>O system initiated intramolecular cyclization to afford 2-CF<sub>3</sub>-indoles. Target products can be prepared in up to 85% yiel ...[more]
