Diastereoselective Synthesis of Tetracyclic Tetrahydroquinoline Derivative Enabled by Multicomponent Reaction of Isocyanide, Allenoate, and 2-Aminochalcone

Abstract

We report here a multicomponent protocol to assemble several polycyclic dihydropyran-fused tetrahydroquinoline structures with excellent diastereoselectivity. This procedure employs simple feedstocks to accomplish a series of diverse structures, which is difficult to attain by traditional sequences.
