[Chemical equation presented] Breaking the taboo: The direct use of allylic alcohols in catalytic and enantioselective Friedel-Crafts alkylation is described for the first time In the presence of chiral gold complexes. This intramolecular Friedel-Crafts reaction was used to prepare a broad range of functionalized tetrahydrocarbazoles (see scheme; X=Me, F, Br, Cl, OMe; R=Me, Et, tBu; R′=H, Me).
