The present invention relates to novel and concise process for the construction of chiral 3-substituted tetrahyroquinoline derivatives based on proline catalyzed asymmetric α-functionalization of aldehyde, followed by in situ reductive cyclization of nitro group under catalytic hydrogenation condition with high optical purities. Further the invention relates to conversion of derived chiral 3-substituted tetrahydroquinoline derivatives into therapeutic agents namely (−)-sumanirole (96% ee) and 1-[(S)-3-(di-methylamino)-3,4-dihydro-6,7-dimethoxy-quinolin-1(2H)-yl]propanone[(S)-903] (92% ee).
