2‐dihydroquinolines, which were prepared by the partial reduction of the corresponding quinolinederivatives. This dearomatization/enantioselective borylation sequence has been used to provide a facile access to a wide variety of functionalized tetrahydroquinolines under mild conditions from readily available quinoline starting materials in combination with the stereospecific transformation of a stereogenic
A new approach for the regioselective functionalization of the C-3-position of quinolines is described. The method utilizes heteroatom guided regioselective C-3 palladation followed by arylation via transmetalation with aryl boronic acids to yield 3-aryl-N-acyl-1,2-dihydroquinolines. In a one-pot sequence, N-deacylation followed by aromatization leads to important 3-arylquinolines in good yields.
