Engaging 2-methyl indolenines in a tandem condensation/1,5-hydride transfer/cyclization process: construction of a novel indolenine–tetrahydroquinoline assembly

Abstract

An efficient BF₃·Et₂O-catalyzed diastereoselective tandem condensation/1,5-hydride transfer/cyclization strategy for the synthesis of a novel indolenine–tetrahydroquinoline assembly was reported.
