  • Descrição: Asymmetric ruthenium-catalyzed C–H alkylations were enabled by a chiral C2-symmetric carboxylic acid. The mild cooperative ruthenium­(II) catalysis set the stage for the assembly of chiral tetrahydrocarbazoles and cyclohepta­[b]­indoles with high levels of enantioselectivity at room temperature. Mechanistic studies by experiment and computation identified a fast C–H ruthenation, along with a rate- and enantio-determining proto-demetalation. The asymmetric induction was governed by weak attractive secondary dispersion interactions as found in NCI analysis of the key transition states.
