A stereoselective synthesis of trans ‐4‐(3‐indolylmethyl)‐3,4‐dihydrocoumarins has been developed. The method proceeds through a catalytic Friedel–Crafts reaction of coumarin‐fused donor–acceptor cyclopropanes with indoles. The use of Ni(ClO 4 ) 2 as a Lewis acid catalyst leads to the formation of a variety of 4‐(3‐indolylmethyl)‐3,4‐dihydrocoumarins in good yields with high diastereoselectivities.
