LEWIS ACID ASSISTED REACTIONS OF N-(ALPHA-AMINOALKYL)BENZOTRIAZOLES AND UNACTIVATED ALKENES FOR THE FACILE SYNTHESIS OF 4-, 2,4-, AND 3,4-SUBSTITUTED 1,2,3,4-TETRAHYDROQUINOLINES

摘要

A range of substituted tetrahydroquinolines have been synthesized from benzotriazole derivatives and unactivated alkenes in the presence of a Lewis acid. These reactions utilize readily available starting materials and mild reaction conditions, and give high yields. The reaction mechanisms are discussed. [References: 40]
