Cerium(IV) ammonium nitrate catalyzes the three-component, imino Diels-Alder (Povarov) reaction between anilines, aromatic aldehydes, and acyclic vinyl ethers, giving cis-4-alkoxy-2-aryl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinolines with almost complete diastereoselectivity. The corresponding reaction starting from cyclic vinyl ethers gave the two possible diastereomers, with the endo-compound as the major product. This stereochemical outcome is explained through a stepwise mechanism for the imino Diels-Alder reaction, and this mechanism was subsequently proved by trapping the putative oxonium intermediate in the presence of ethanol.
硝酸铈(IV)铵催化苯胺、芳香醛和无环乙烯醚之间的三组分亚胺型迪尔斯-阿尔德(波瓦洛夫)反应,生成具有几乎完全非对映选择性顺式-4-烷氧基-2-芳基-1,2,3,4-四氢喹啉。从环状乙烯醚开始的相应反应产生了两种可能的非对映异构体,内型化合物为主要产物。通过亚胺型迪尔斯-阿尔德反应的逐步机制解释了这种立体化学结果,随后在乙醇存在下捕获推测的氧离子中间体证实了这一机制。
