Abstract

A reaction between N-benzylideneanilines and Danishefsky's diene proceeds smoothly in acidic aqueous medium in the presence of a catalytic amount of copper(II) triflate and sodium dodecyl sulfate to afford the corresponding 1,2-diphenyl-2,3-dihydro-4-pyridones in excellent yields. The aqueous solution containing the catalyst can be recovered and reused without any loss in efficiency.
