A.2 General Procedures and Materials. The 1H and 13C NMR spectra were recorded at 400 MHz and 500 MHz for 1H or at 100 MHz and 125 MHz for 13C, respectively. The chemical shifts (δ) for 1H and 13C are given in ppm relative to residual signals of the solvents (CHCl3 @ 7.26 ppm 1H NMR, 77.0 ppm 13C NMR). Coupling constants are given in Hz. When necessary, 1H and 13C signals were assigned by means of g-COSY, g-HSQC and g-HMBC 2D-NMR sequences. When 2D-NMR was not performed, carbon types were determined from DEPT 13C NMR experiments. The following abbreviations are used to indicate the multiplicity: s, singlet; d, doublet; t, triplet; q, quartet; qn, quintet; m, multiplet; bs, broad signal. High-resolution mass spectra (HRMS) were obtained from the ICIQ High Resolution Mass Spectrometry Unit on Waters GCT gas chromatograph coupled time-of-flight mass spectrometer (GC/MS-TOF) with electron ionization (EI). The authors are indebted to the team of the Research Support Area at ICIQ. General Procedures. All the reactions were set up under air and using freshly distilled solvents, without any precautions to exclude moisture, unless otherwise noted - open air chemistry on the benchtop. Chromatographic purification of products was accomplished using force-flow chromatography (FC) on silica gel (35-70 mesh). For thin layer chromatography (TLC) analysis throughout this work, Merck precoated TLC plates (silica gel 60 GF254, 0.25 mm) were used, using UV light as the visualizing agent and an acidic mixture of ceric ammonium molybdate or basic aqueous potassium permangante (KMnO4), and heat as developing agents. Organic solutions were concentrated under reduced pressure on a Büchi rotary evaporator. Materials. Commercial grade reagents and solvents were purchased from Sigma Aldrich, Fluka, and Alfa Aesar and used as received, without further purification. Otherwise, where necessary, they were purified as recommended.1 Hexamethylphosphoric triamide (HMPA) was purified by distillation under vacuum and stored over 4Å molecular sieves under argon to avoid the presence of water. Note that the presence of water within HMPA may affect the rate of the model reaction. Freshly distilled TFA was used for all the kinetic runs in the calorimetry and others kinetic studies. The chiral primary amine catalyst, 9-amino-9deoxyepiquinine 1a, was prepared from commercially available quinine following the literature procedure.2 Determination of the Enantiomeric Purity. HPLC analysis on chiral stationary phase was performed on an Agilent 1200-series instrumentation. Daicel Chiralpak IA column with i-PrOH/hexane as the eluent was used. HPLC traces were compared to racemic samples prepared using TFA as a catalyst (Brønsted-acid catalyzed racemic pathway). Determination of the Product Concentration and Yield from HPLC Analysis. The yield of the model reaction was determined using 1,3,5-trimethoxybenzene as the internal standard by HPLC analysis on a Daicel Chiralpak IA column: 90/10 hexane/i-PrOH, flow rate 1.0 mL/min, λ = 215 nm: τmajor = 7.9 min, τminor = 9.2 min. The concentration of the reaction product, 4-(2-methyl-1H-indol-3-yl)octan2-one (4a), was determined directly from the area of the product peak, the area of 1,3,5-trimethoxybenzene in the HPLC spectra (detector @ 215 nm) and the known concentration of the internal standard making use of the following equation (see Figure S1 for the calibration curve):

B. Effect of Additives on the Model Friedel-Craft Alkylation. B.1 Effect of the TFA concentration on the enantiomeric excess of the model reaction. The reaction of 2a (0.24 M) and enone 3a (0.21 M) catalyzed by amine 1a (0.04 M) in toluene at 45 °C was repeated over a range of concentrations of TFA. The correlation between the enantioselectivity of the process and the amount of TFA, as detailed in Figure S2, clearly indicates that the optical purity of the product 4a is affected by high acid concentrations. This was rationalized (and confirmed by control experiments reported in Table S1, page S6) on the basis of a non-stereoselective acid-catalyzed background reaction. It is known, indeed, that strong Brønsted acids can catalyze the Friedel-Craft reaction of indoles with enones.3

All the reactions were carried out in freshly distilled toluene with a known concentration of the internal standard (1,3,5-trimethoxybenzene), without any precaution to exclude air and moisture (open air chemistry on the benchtop). Reactions were performed at 45 ºC in a 2 mL ordinary vial equipped with a Teflon-coated 3

stir bar and a plastic screw cap. The reaction mixtures with different initial concentration of freshly distilled trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) were prepared by mixing 200 μL of a stock solution of 9-amino(9-deoxy)epiquinine (1a, 0.080 M) and 2-methylindole (2a, 0.480 M), different amounts of a freshly prepared stock solutions of TFA (0.210 M) and the needed amount of toluene to bring the total volume of the mixture to 0.350 μL. The reaction was started by adding 50 microliters of a freshly prepared stock solution of 3-octen2-one (3a, 1.750 M). After 2 hours a 10 microliter sample from the reaction mixture was taken and dissolved in 1 mL of an 80/20 hexane/i-PrOH mixture and subjected to HPLC analysis. The enantiomeric excesses were determined by HPLC analysis.

B.2 Effect of the TFA concentration on the rate of the model reaction. The presence of an acid-promoted racemic pathway was confirmed by initial rates measurements for the Friedel-Craft alkylation with different initial concentration of TFA with respect to amine 1a.

Figure S3. Plot of initial reaction rates vs [TFA]/[1a] for the Friedel-Craft Alkylation in toluene @ 45 ºC. Reaction conditions: [1a]= 0.04 M; [2a]= 0.240 M; [3a]= 0.200 M; [TFA]= 0.027-0.162 M. Comments to Figure S3: The rate is strongly dependent on the ratio [TFA] / [1a]. The continuous increase of the rate while adding TFA is ascribable to the higher free acid concentration and the resulting fast background Brønsted acid-promoted pathway, which greatly affects the overall stereoselectivity (see Figure S2) and reactivity of the process.

Initial rates measurements for the Friedel-Craft alkylation with different initial concentration of TFA. All reactions were carried out with a known concentration of the internal standard. The reaction mixtures with a different initial concentration of TFA were prepared by mixing 200 μL of a stock solution of 9-amino(9-deoxy)epi-quinine (1a, 0.080 M) and 2-methylindole (2a, 0.480 M) with different amounts (00.150 μl) of a freshly prepared stock solutions of distilled TFA (0.426 M) and the needed amount of toluene to bring the total volume of the system to 0.350 μL. The reaction was started by adding 50 microliters of a freshly prepared stock solution of 3-octen-2-one (3a, 1.680 M). During the first 2-20 minutes (conversion lower than 10 % with a linear concentration increase), six samples were collected from the reaction mixture, dissolved in 1 mL of an 80/20 hexane/i-PrOH mixture and subjected to HPLC analysis. The concentration of the product at different reaction times was determined by HPLC analysis. The initial rates were obtained by linear regression of the data.

General reaction conditions: reactions performed on a 0.2 mmol scale using 40 mol% of the acid, 1.2 equiv. of 2a and [3a]= 0.2 M in toluene. Note that no amine 1a was used.

The results in Table S1 clearly indicate that only strong acids, such as TFA, are able to promote a background non-stereoselective Friedel-Crafts reaction. B.3 Effect of the HMPA on the reaction rates. The presence of an acid-promoted racemic pathway that competes with the stereoselective aminocatalytic regime would preclude the possibility for a mechanistic study, since both the rate and the enantiomeric excess of the reaction are altered. We reasoned that the presence of an additive characterized by a strong hydrogen-bond-accepting ability4 could greatly reduce the rate of the acid-catalyzed background process by sequestering the free TFA that is not engaged in electrostatic (acid-base) interactions with the basic moieties of the amine 1a. Extensive studies revealed that hexamethylphosphoric triamide (HMPA) greatly inhibited the Brønsted acid-promoted pathway (Scheme S1a, reaction rate reduced 40 times). On the contrary, HMPA has a minimal influence on the organocatalytic regime (Scheme S1b).

Scheme S1. Effect of the HMPA (1.75 ratio with respect to [TFA]) on the rates of a) the Brønsted acid-catalyzed pathway, and b) the organocatalytic reaction; rates extrapolated from initial rate measurements. Prior to use, HMPA was distilled under vacuum and stored over 4Å molecular sieves under argon to avoid the presence of water. Note that the presence of water within HMPA may affect the rate of the model reaction (See Section D.4 for details).

From the results depicted in Scheme S1a, it is clear that HMPA greatly inhibited the Brønsted acidpromoted pathway while minimally affecting the organocatalytic regime. This result brings about important mechanistic implications, since it excludes the possibility for a chiral acid-catalyzed pathway to be operative in the enantioselective reaction. Indeed, a mechanism where the protonated ammonium salt of 1a may act as a chiral acid could be envisaged. However, the small reduction of 4

the reaction rate of the organocatalytic reaction when using HMPA is not consistent with this noncovalent mode of catalysis. This supports a covalent mode of catalysis for amine 1a through iminium ion formation in the model Friedel-Crafts alkylation (see Figure S4 for the two possible pathways).

Figure S4. The two distinct modes of catalysis that might be operative in the model reaction - Kinetic data support a covalent activation mode via iminium ion formation.

B.4.1 Effect of HMPA on the enantiomeric excess. The ability of HMPA to suppress the acid-catalyzed pathway provided a reliable catalytic system for our mechanistic studies. Indeed, repeating the [TFA]/stereoselectivity correlation studies in the presence of a 1.75 constant ratio between [HMPA] and [TFA] led to a more consistent profile of the enantioselectivity (ee in the range of 80-84% ee, Figure S5). The data should be compared to the results in Figure S2.

Figure S5. Plot of the enantiomeric excess vs [TFA]/[1a] for the model Friedel-Craft Alkylation @ 45 0C. Reaction conditions: [1a]= 0.04 M; [2a]= 0.240 M; [3a]= 0.200 M; [TFA]= 0.027-0.162 M; [HMPA]= 0.049-0.286 M. HMPA dried over molecular sieves was used.

Reaction mixtures with different initial concentrations of TFA and HMPA (constant ratio [HMPA]/[TFA]=1.75) were prepared by mixing 200 μL of a stock solution of 9-amino(9-deoxy)epi-quinine (1a, 0.080 M) and 2-methylindole (2a, 0.480 M), different amounts (0-0.150 μL) of a freshly prepared stock solutions of distilled TFA (0.426 M) and HMPA (0.755 M) and the needed amount of toluene to bring the total volume of the system to 0.350 μL. The reaction was started by adding 50 microliters of a freshly prepared stock solution of 3-octen-2-one (3a, 1.600 M). A 10 microliter sample was taken from the reaction mixture and dissolved in 1 mL of an 80/20 hexane/i-PrOH mixture. The enantiomeric excesses were determined by HPLC analysis.

B.4.2 Effect of HMPA concentration on the enantiomeric excess. Figure S6 shows that the best ratio between [HMPA] and [TFA] is 1.75. Upon further increase of the HMPA concentration, the ee of the model reaction remained almost constant.

Figure S6. Plot of the enantiomeric excess vs [HMPA] for the model reaction at 25 C0. Reaction conditions: [1a]= 0.04 M; [2a]= 0.240 M; [3a]= 0.201 M; [TFA]= 0.083 M; [HMPA]= 0-0.240 M. Freshly distilled TFA and HMPA were used.

The reactions were performed at 25 ºC. The reaction mixtures with different initial concentration of hexamethylphosphoramide (HMPA) were prepared by mixing 100 μL of a stock solution of 9-amino(9deoxy)epi-quinine (1a, 0.080 M), 2-methylindole (2a, 0.480 M) and TFA (0.166 M), different amounts (00.050 μL) of a freshly prepared stock solutions of HMPA (0.75 M) and the needed amount of toluene to bring the total volume of the system to 0.150 μL. The reaction was started by adding 50 microliters of a freshly prepared stock solution of 3-octen-2-one (3a, 0.875 M). After 2 hours, a 10 microliter sample was taken from the reaction mixture and dissolved in 1 mL of an 80/20 hexane/i-PrOH mixture and subjected to HPLC analysis. The enantiomeric excesses were determined by HPLC analysis. The overall effect of HMPA on the model Friedel-Craft alkylation. The role of HMPA is to suppress the acid-catalyzed pathway, thus providing a reliable catalytic system for our mechanistic studies. HMPA seems to have a minimal influence, if any, on the organocatalytic regime. To challenge the possibility that HMPA may have a direct effect on the stereoselectivity of the cinchonabased primary amine 1a catalyzed Friedel-Crafts reaction, we carried out the experiments detailed in Table S2. We used different acids, within a wide range of pKa, and with a different ability to promote the acidcatalyzed addition of indole 2a to enone 3a (please refer to results detailed in Table S1 @ page S6). The results reported in Table S2 clearly show that the enantioselectivity of the model reaction is affected by the presence of HMPA only when using a combination of chiral amine 1a and an acid that is strong enough to catalyze the reaction by itself (strong acids like TFA, trichloroacetic acid or para-toluenesulfonic acid, see Table S1 @ page S6). The increase of the enantioselectivity when using a strong acid such as TFA and in the presence of HMPA can be ascribed to the suppression of the acid-catalyzed background reaction, which restores the intrinsic stereoselectivity of the amine 1a/acid catalyst combination. These results suggest that HMPA is not affecting the stereoselectivity of the iminium ion-catalyzed process.

B.5 Studying the Effect of HMPA by means of NMR Analysis 1 H NMR spectroscopic study, detailed in Figure S7, further indicates that HMPA, acting as a Lewis base, greatly outperforms the ability of the carbonyl oxygen of the enone 3a to interact with TFA. The chemical shift and the shape of the signal of the proton B in 3a is sensitive to the presence of a strong acid like TFA (Figure S7a vs Figure S7b). In the presence of both HMPA and TFA, the shape and the chemical shift of this signal remains unchanged to the one observed in the absence of TFA (Figure S7a vs Figure S7c).

C. Effect of the Acid Concentration on the Rate of the Friedel-Craft Alkylation. With consistent experimental conditions in hand, we analyzed the effect of the acid concentration on the rate of the model reaction. Again, the correlation studies carried out in the absence or the presence of HMPA showed strikingly different behaviors (compare Figure S3 @ page S5 with Figure S8 below). The results further confirm the presence of a background reaction altering the kinetic profile when HMPA is absent. Initial rates measurements for the Friedel-Craft Alkylation with different initial concentration of the TFA and in the presence of HMPA. Reaction mixtures with different initial concentrations of HMPA and TFA were prepared by mixing 200 μL of a stock solution of 9-amino(9-deoxy)epi-quinine (1a, 0.080 M) and 2-methylindole (2a, 0.480 M), different amounts (0-0.150 μL) of a freshly prepared stock solutions of HMPA (0.755M) and distilled TFA (0.426 M) and the needed amount of toluene to bring the total volume of the system to 0.350 μL. The reaction was started by adding 50 microliters of a freshly prepared stock solution of 3-octen-2-one (3a, 1.600 M). Six samples from the reaction mixture were collected during the first 2-40 minutes (conversion lower than 10 % with linear concentration increase). After dilution in 1 mL of an 80/20 hexane/i-PrOH mixture, the concentration of the product 4a was determined by HPLC analysis. The initial rates were obtained by linear regression of the data.

Reaction conditions: [1a]= 0.04 M; [2a]= 0.240 M; [3a]= 0.200 M; [TFA]= 0.027-0.162 M; [HMPA]= 0.049-0.286 M, adjusted to keep [HMPA]/[TFA] = 1.75. HMPA dried over molecular sieves was used

D. Kinetic Studies of the Friedel-Craft Reaction. D.1 Calorimeter experiments. The progress of the reaction of 2a and 3a, catalyzed by the 1a∙(TFA)2.3 and in the presence of HMPA (1.75 ratio with respect to TFA) at 45 ºC, was in situ monitored in a calorimeter. The reaction progress kinetic analysis (RPKA) was repeated using the catalyst combination 1a∙(TFA)2. These studies revealed very similar kinetic profiles for the two catalytic systems. General Experimental Procedure for Kinetic Studies Using Reaction Calorimetry. Reactions were performed in an Omnical SuperCRC 20-250-2.4 microcalorimeter. The instrument contains a differential scanning calorimeter (DSC), which compares the heat released or consumed in a sample vessel with respect to a reference vessel. The temperature of the DSC was held constant at 45 ºC, ensuring that the reaction would proceed under isothermal conditions. The reaction vessels were 16 mL borosilicate screw-thread vials fit with a black phenolic screw caps and white PTFE septa charged with Teflon stir bars. In a typical calorimetry experiment, a reaction vessel containing a solution of the proper amounts of 9amino(9-deoxy)epi-quinine (1a), 2-methylindole (2a, Sigma-Aldrich), TFA (Sigma-Aldrich) and anhydrous HMPA (Sigma-Aldrich, stored over activated molecular sieves) was placed in the calorimeter. A reference vessel containing the same amount of all the reagents except the 9-amino(9-deoxy)epi-quinine and TFA was prepared too. Two syringes, one for the reaction vessel and another for the reference vessel, containing 3octen-2-one (3a, Alfa Aesar) were placed in the sample injection port of the calorimeter. All the system was S11

allowed to thermally equilibrate for at least 60 minutes. The reaction was initiated by injecting the 3-octen-2one (3a) into the reaction and the reference vessels at the same time. A raw data curve was produced by measuring the heat flow from the sample vessel every 3 seconds during the reaction. When no more heat was developed, a 10 microliter sample from the reaction mixture was taken and dissolved in 1 mL of an 80/20 hexane/i-PrOH mixture and subjected to HPLC analysis. The yield and the enantiomeric excess for the product 4a were determined by HPLC analysis. Due to the delay between the instantaneous moment heat evolved from the reaction vessel and the time the thermophile sensor detects the heat flow, the raw data curve must be calibrated. To accomplish this calibration, a constant amount of current was passed through a resistor in the sample chamber of the calorimeter thereby producing a known quantity of heat. This process results in a response curve, which is then transformed into a square wave allowing for the response time of the instrument to be calculated using the WinCRC software. Application of the response time to the raw data gives a “tau corrected data curve” (plot of heat flow (mJ/s) versus time). The reaction rate and the fraction conversion at any time can be obtained from the “tau corrected” heat flow (eq S1, eq S2). The instantaneous concentrations of reactants/products can all be calculated from the conversion and the initial concentrations of the reactants. For the reaction under study an average heat of reaction of 17.5 ± 1.0 Kcal/mol was obtained.

q  H V  v (eq S1) Eq S1. q is the reaction heat flow, ΔH is the heat of reaction, V is the reaction volume, and v is the reaction rate. The heat of the reaction can be obtained from integration of the observed heat flow versus time curves. t

Eq S2. The numerator represents the area under the heat flow to any time point t and the denominator represents the total area under the heat flow curve.

The in-situ calorimetry technique needs to be calibrated with an independent analytical method; therefore the final conversion determined from the heat flow was compared in all cases with the one obtained by HPLC measurements. The overlaying obtained in Figure S9, confirms that the observed heat flow represents an accurate measure of the rate of the reaction under study.

D.5 Eyring Analysis. General Procedure for the Eyring analysis. The model reactions were performed under the same reaction conditions ([1a] = 0.040 M, [2a] = 0.300 M, [3a] = 0.205-0.214 M, [TFA]= 0.092 M, [HMPA]= 0.161 M) at seven different temperatures (between 30 and 60 ºC). The progress of the reaction of 2a and 3a, catalyzed by 20 mol% of 1a∙(TFA)2.3 and in the presence of HMPA (1.75 ratio with respect to TFA), was in situ monitored in an Omnical SuperCRC 20-2502.4 microcalorimeter. For technical details refer to section D.1. The reaction rate and the fraction conversion at any time were obtained as previously described in section D.1. The rate constants were determined by non-linear least-squares fitting to the empirical rate equation [Eq. (1) in the main manuscript], which was experimentally determined by the reaction progress kinetic analysis of the model reaction at 45 C0, as detailed in section D2: rate (M sec-1) = k[1a∙(TFA)2.3]1[2a]0.98[3a]0.77

E. Computational Investigations E.1 Computational Details. Geometry optimizations employed the metahybrid DFT functional M06-2X7 functional and the 6-31G(d) basis set with Gaussian09.8 Thermochemical corrections were obtained from frequency calculations at the same level for a state of 1 atm and 318.15 K. Single-point energies of solvation in Toluene were computed with SMD method at the same level and were used in conjunction with the thermochemical corrections to obtain the free energies. For the C-C bond forming step, the energies of the related transition states were refined with single-point calculations including the solvent effect at the M06-2X/6-311++G(d,p) level. The conformational studies of the amine 1a and the iminium ion A (Section E.2 and E.3 of the Supporting Information) employed the dispersion corrected BP86-D functional,9 and the TZP basis set as implemented in the Amsterdam Density Functional ADF2009.01 program.10 E.2 Computational Approaches to Study the Conformational Behaviour of Amine 1a It has been established that cinchona alkaloids adopt four energetically preferred conformations, two open and two closed forms (Scheme S4).11 They differ for the relative orientation of the quinuclidine and the quinoline moieties as a result of the rotation around the torsional angles 1 and 2.

BP86-D functional,12 and the TZP basis set as implemented in the Amsterdam Density Functional ADF2009.01 program.13 DFT methods, used to calculate the relative energies of the four different conformations of amine 1a, established the anti-open as the most populated ground-state conformation. As depicted in Figure S35, the energy difference between the open and the closed conformations is approximately of 6 kcal·mol-1, while the relative energy difference between the anti and syn conformations is very small (0.6 kcal·mol-1). From the calculations alone it is difficult to distinguish between the two. These trends are in agreement with previous computational studies on the conformation of related cinchona alkaloid species.14 Note that, in the presence of one and two molecules of trifluoroacetic acid, the anticonformation becomes more stable than the syn-conformer.

Legend for the Table: the topological parameters identifying the conformations of the iminium ion A are given in this order: 1) syn-anti geometry of the cinchona scaffold.

Figure S36. Optimized geometries and energies at BP86-D/TZP of the lowest energy anti-open iminium ion intermediate (A). Associated TFA and selected hydrogen atoms have been omitted for clarity. Relative energies given in kcal·mol -1. General comment: In agreement with the general LUMO lower theory of iminium ion catalysis, the energy of the iminium ion LUMO is approximately 1 eV lower compared that of the free ketone substrate.

To understand how the iminium ion structure controls the enantioselectivity of the system is important to obtain an accurate description of the three-dimensional conformational space accessible for the iminium ion intermediate (A). Using DFT methods we optimized and evaluated the relative energies of the 16 different possible open (with respect to the cinchona) geometries. The 16 conformations of the iminium ion intermediate (A) arise from the combination of 4 structural motifs; the configuration of the C=N bond (E/Z), the configuration of the C=C bond (cis/trans), and the conformation of the single C-C bond (s-cis/s-trans) connecting them; this leads to 8 conformations. For all these conformations it is possible to have the syn and anti conformation for the quinoline moiety. In all cases the anti quinoline conformation is the more stable and therefore only these will be discussed. The geometries of all 16 conformations are available in the coordinates section of the Supporting Information. Interconversion between the syn and anti conformers of the iminium ion is unlikely, with a barrier to the rotation of the quinoline of approximately 25 kcal mol-1. The calculations suggest that the additional acid molecule, and the restraints imposed by the resulting iminium ion assembly, hinders this rotation. The calculated lowest energy structure, A-i in Figure S36, has an s-trans geometry, which is significantly more stable. We then focused on the keto-imine E/Z configuration. In general the (E)-isomers are more stable compared to their (Z) counterparts, this trend has previously been reported for other iminium ion structures.15 However due to the relatively small energy difference observed between the E/Z conformations (approximately 1.0 kcal·mol-1) it is difficult, with any degree of confidence, to assign a quantitative reason for this trend. This is where using model systems can help shed light on the structural preferences. To understand each conformational preference we used a highly simplified model system (Figure S37) and then increased the level of complexity until the model results matched the full complex system. 15

Figure S37. Model complex; (E)-s-trans, (Z)-s-trans, (E)-s-cis. Relative energies given in kcal·mol-1. HOMO shown for each conformation.

Initially we started with the simplest iminium ion structure, then increased the bulk at the ‘catalyst’ position and finally included the TFA counter-ion interactions. Our simplified iminium ion model in the absence of TFA counter-ion showed no energetic preference for the E/Z conformation, the same was also true upon increasing the bulk at the nitrogen of the iminium ion (substituting methyl for isopropyl), suggesting little steric interaction between the substrate and the catalyst. However, on inclusion of the TFA counter-ion the (E)-isomer is stabilized by 1.2 kcal·mol-1 with respect to the (Z)-isomer. This stabilization is due to the more favorable hydrogen bonding between the TFA and alkene CH moiety compared to hydrogen bonding with the methyl group. In the (E)-isomer, the TFA lies in-plane with the iminium ion and substrate, with hydrogen bond distance of 1.38 Å to the iminium NH and 2.02 Å to the alkene CH group. Whereas for the (Z)-isomer the TFA is not in the plane, distorted by 42.0° (with respect to the C=N bond), and with a hydrogen bond distance of 2.14 Å between the TFA and the methyl group. This clearly suggests how the presence of the acid has important implications on the conformation of the iminium ion structure. This concept of CH···O hydrogen bonding influencing conformational preference for enantioselective reactions has been observed before.16 In the full catalyst system the conformation around the C-C single bond favors the s-trans conformation by approximately 3.5 kcal·mol-1, in agreement with the trends seen experimentally and similar reports in the literature.17 For the s-cis conformation the N=C-C=C torsion angle deviates from the ideal planar geometry by approximately 15°, this is not the case in the planar s-trans conformation. This deviation from the planar geometry in the s-cis (gauche) conformation relieves the 1,3-allylic strain experienced between the C=C and C=N bond. The disruption in the orbital conjugation of the HOMO (in the model system) for the s-cis versus s-trans is shown in Figure S37. E.4 Computational Study of the Carbon-Carbon Bond Formation Transition States. The carbon-carbon bond forming step also generates a new stereogenic center. Four transition states, characterized by different facial topicity, for the addition of 2-Methylindole (2a) to the iminium ion A have been located (see Figure S38).18 Of this transition states, TS9-Re, which leads to the experimentally observed product enantiomer, is the lower in energy.
