An efficient, silver-induced tandem radical addition/cyclization for the synthesis of 3,4-dihydroquinolinones is presented, which exhibits a good functional group tolerance. The reaction is easy to operate and amenable to a multigram-scale synthesis. Additionally, this work illustrates the formation of a key skeleton for the synthesis of biologically interesting 3,4-dihydroquinolinone alkaloids.

The copper-catalyzed tandem oxidative cyclization of cinnamamides with benzyl hydrocarbons through the direct cross-dehydrogenative coupling of sp(3) and sp(2) C-H bonds has been developed. Satisfactorily, ethers, alcohols and alkanes could also be used instead of benzyl hydrocarbons in this transformation, which allows rapidaccess to diverse dihydroquinolinones in one step.
