Abstract
An environmentally friendly iridium-catalyzed direct cyclization of N-methylanilines with 1,3-propanediol provides tetrahydroquinolines with water as the sole by-product. Under similar reaction conditions, direct cyclization of anilines with 1,3-propanediol produced tetrahydrobenzoquinolizines.
