Recent Literature
The combination of SmI2/H2O/MeOH promotes a selective
reduction of quinolin-2(1H)-ones to afford 3,4-dihydroquinoline-2(1H)-ones
under mild conditions with good to excellent yields.

Non-activated water can be applied directly as a hydrogen donor to achieve a
carbanion-mediated alkene reduction with 9-HTXTF serving as an
organophotocatalyst. Syntheses of high-value-added drugs and bioactive molecules
showcase the usefulness of the protocol in chemical synthesis.

A Rh/Pd/Cu catalyst system led to an efficient one-pot synthesis of
dihydroquinolinones without any intermediate workup. The conjugate-addition/amidation/amidation
reaction sequence is highly modular, divergent, and practical.

With the proper choice of palladium catalyst, ligand, and base, five-, six-, and
seven-membered rings are formed efficiently from secondary amide or secondary
carbamate precursors.

Tetralone mediates a smooth photocyclization of N-arylacrylamides to
deliver 3,4-dihydroquinolinones in good yields with excellent functional group
compatibility. Mechanistic studies reveal that ultraviolet light irradiation
enables a cyclization via energy transfer and exclusive 1,3-hydrogen shift.

[Ru(p-cymene)(L-proline)Cl] catalyzes a cyclization of
1,4,2-dioxazol-5-ones to form dihydroquinoline-2-ones in excellent yields with
excellent regioselectivity via a formal intramolecular arene C(sp2)-H
amidation. The reactions of the 2- and 4-substituted aryl dioxazolones proceed
initially through spirolactamization via electrophilic amidation at the arene
site.

A metal- and additive-free photoredox cyclization of N-arylacrylamides
provides dihydroquinolinones in good yields in the presence of the organic
light-emitting molecule 4CzIPN as photocatalyst.

The P-chiral monophosphorus ligand BI-DIME enables an efficient,
palladium-catalyzed, decarboxylative [4 + 2]-cycloaddition of 4-vinyl
benzoxazinanones with carboxylic acids to provide structurally diverse
3,4-dihydroquinolin-2-ones bearing two contiguous stereogenic centers in good
yields with very good stereoselectivities.

A Pd/chiral Lewis base relay catalysis enables a highly enantioselective
cascade carbonylation/annulation of benzyl bromides, CO, and vinyl
benzoxazinanones under mild conditions to assemble chiral diydroquinolinones from
readily available starting materials in good yields with excellent diastereo-
and enantioselectivities.

In an asymmetric [4+2] cycloaddition of vinyl benzoxazinanones with a variety
of ketene intermediates via sequential visible-light photoactivation and
palladium catalysis, the traceless and transient generation of ketenes from
α-diazoketones through visible-light-induced Wolff rearrangement is important
for the success of the palladium catalysis.

DBU mediates a formal [4+2] annulation reaction of aza-ortho-quinone
methides (generated from o-chloromethyl anilines) with enolates (formed
from azlactones) to provide biologically significant 3,4-dihydroquinolin-2(1H)-one
derivatives in good yields. This reaction offers use of readily accessible
starting materials, broad substrate scope, and mild reaction conditions.
