Procedure
To 1-(4-bromo-benzyl)-5-methoxy-2-methyl-1H-indole (110 mg, 0.333 mmol) in a 2-dram amber vial was added CH2Cl2 (0.60 mL), isopropanol (0.066 mL), dichloroacetic acid (5.5 μL, 0.066 mmol) and (2S,5S)-5-benzyl-2-tert-butyl-3-methyl-imidazolidin-4-one (16.4 mg, 0.066 mmol). This solution was stirred for 10 min at room temperature, then placed in a −70° C. bath for an additional 10 min. At this time, crotonaldehyde (82 μL, 1.0 mmol) was added and the reaction was stirred at −70° C. for 9 h. The reaction mixture was then transferred cold through a silica plug into a flask and concentrated to provide, after silica gel chromatography (20:80 EtOAc/hexanes), the title compound as a colorless oil (111 mg, 84% yield, 87% ee).

[α]D=−20.8 (c=1.0, CHCl3). The enantiomeric ratio was determined by HPLC analysis of the alcohol, obtained by NaBH4 reduction of the aldehyde, using a Chiracel OD-H and OD guard column (4:96 ethanol/hexanes, 1 mL/min); S isomer tr=45.1 min and R isomer tr=35.9 min.
