Resumen

Merging three in one by a three‐component organocatalytic asymmetric reaction of imines and α‐bromoesters or ketones with α,β‐unsaturated aldehydes provides optically active pyrrolo‐isoquinolines—an important class of molecules in life science. The reaction proceeds with excellent enantioselectivity and a number of transformations of the products obtained demonstrated the potential of the new reaction.
