Synthesis of 1,2-dihydroquinolines

Recent Literature


An efficient synthetic route to 1,2-dihydroquinolines relies on AuCl3/AgSbF6-catalyzed intramolecular allylic amination of 2-tosylaminophenylprop-1-en-3-ols in good yields. The method was shown to be applicable to a broad range of 2-tosylaminophenylprop-1-en-3-ols containing electron-withdrawing, electron-donating, and sterically demanding substrate combinations.P.
