Abstract
Upon activation with trifluoromethanesulfonyl anhydride, secondary N-arylamides undergo smooth intermolecular dehydrative [4 + 2] aza-annulation with alkenes under mild conditions to give 3,4-dihydroquinolines, amenable to further functionalization. The use of NaBH4 or DDQ in a subsequent step enables the synthesis of tetrahydroquinolines or quinolines, respectively.
