摘要:
An iodine-catalyzed direct cycloalkenylation of dihydroquinolines and arylamines has been developed. This method consists of a Friedel-Crafts reaction between dihydroquinolines (or arylamines) and cyclic ketones in which the double bond is selectively generated throughout the course of the reaction resulting in a direct cycloalkenylation, under neat conditions.
