Significance: The authors report a catalytic asymmetric Pictet–Spengler reaction of tryptamine via a sulfenyliminium ion. Chiral phosphoric acid 1 was the best catalyst for this reaction and the N-tritylsulfenyl substituent on the tryptamine substrate was found to be essential for achieving high enantioselectivity and conversion. 3, 5-Di (tert-butyl)-4-hydroxytoluene (BHT) acts as radical scavenger and prevents the decomposition of the product. The authors have removed the sulfenyl group under acidic conditions in one pot. With 5 mol% of catalyst 1 good to excellent yields (77–90%) and moderate to high enantioselectivities (er= 65: 35 to 93: 7) are obtained for different aldehydes.
