An efficient catalytic asymmetric coupling of vinylogous species is developed by adding deconjugated butenolide to vinylogous imines in situ generated from arylsulfonyl indoles. Using quinine-derived bifunctional squaramide as the catalyst, a series of structurally diverse enantioenriched sec-alkyl-3-substituted indoles containing valuable gamma,gamma-disubstituted butenolide moieties and adjacent quaternary-tertiary stereocenters are obtained with synthetically viable results (up to 97% yield, 77 : 23 dr and 97% ee).
