Hg(OTf)2-Catalyzed Vinylogous Semi-Pinacol Rearrangement Leading to 1,4-Dihydroquinolines
摘要:
An efficient method for the construction of dihydroquinoline derivatives possessing a quaternary carbon center is developed by an application of Hg(OTf)(2)-catalyzed vinylogous semi-pinacol-type rearrangement. The reaction was found to be specifically catalyzed by mercury salt and to proceed via a bicyclic aminal.
