Abstract

The highly enantioselective organocatalytic domino aza-Michael/aldol reaction is presented. The unprecedented, chiral amine-catalyzed asymmetric domino reactions between 2-aminobenzaldehydes and α,β-unsaturated aldehydes proceed with excellent chemo- and enantioselectivity to give the corresponding pharmaceutically valuable 1,2-dihydroquinolines derivatives in high yields with 90 to >99% ee.
