tetrahydroquinoline-fused bicycles bearing multiple stereocenters are prepared in good yields with high diastereoselectivity through Cu2O-catalyzed [4 + 2] cycloaddition of aza-ortho-quinone methides (ao-QMs) with bicyclicalkenes. Mechanistic studies reveal that the Cu(I) catalyst not only promotes the formation of ao-QMs through a radical process by single electron transfer but also accelerates [4 + 2] cycloaddition
通过 Cu 2 O 催化的 [4 + 2] 氮杂邻醌甲基化物 (a o -QMs) 与双环烯烃的环加成反应,以良好的收率和高非对映选择性制备了多种具有多个立体中心的四氢喹啉稠合双环化合物。机理研究表明,Cu( I )催化剂不仅通过单电子转移的自由基过程促进a o -QMs的形成,而且还加速了[4 + 2]环加成反应。该反应很容易以克级进行,并且获得的四氢喹啉融合的自行车可以转化为不同的四氢喹啉支架。
