Enamine catalysis enables the first catalyticenantioselective Friedländer reaction. The desymmetrization of 4-substituted cyclohexanones upon reaction with o-aminobenzaldehydes allows for the synthesis of quinolines with remote stereogeniccenters. These heterocycles, which are obtained with high levels of enantioselectivity, serve as precursors for chiral tacrine analogues.
Wet unsupported and supported 1,1'-binaphthalene-2,2'-diamine (BINAM) derived prolinamides are efficient organocatalysts under solvent-free conditions at room temperature to perform the synthesis of chiral tacrine analogues in good yields (up to 93%) and excellent enantioselectivies (up to 96%). The Friedlander reaction involved in this process takes place with several cyclohexanone derivatives and 2-aminoaromatic aldehydes, and it is compatible with the presence of either electron-withdrawing or electron-donating groups at the aromatic ring of the 2-aminoaryl aldehyde derivatives used as electrophiles. The reaction can be extended to cyclopentanone derivatives, affording a regioisomeric but separable mixture of products. The use of the wet silica gel supported organocatalyst, under solvent-free conditions, for this process led to the expected product (up to 87% enantiomeric excess), with its reuse being possible at least up to five times.

A highly enantioselective Friedländer condensation has been established by using chiral Brønsted acids in combination with achiral amines to give quinolines in high yields (up to 99%) and with excellent enantioselectivities (up to 95%).
