A catalytic amount of scandium trifluoromethanesulfonate [Sc(OTf)3] (2.5mol%) was used to catalyze the Michael addition of indoles to nitroolefins in water to afford the corresponding 3-alkylated indoles in good to excellent yields. The short reaction times, excellent yields, and renewability of the catalyst are noteworthy.
