A new palladium-catalyzed asymmetric addition reaction of indoles to alkoxyallenes is reported. Remarkably, the reaction showed complete regioselectivity toward the nitrogen. A new mechanism distinct from that of conventional π-allyl chemistry is proposed to explain this unique selectivity. The utility of the reaction is demonstrated by highly efficient and flexible synthesis of N-glycosylindoles.
