Organocatalytic one-pot asymmetric synthesis of 2-aryl-2,3-dihydro-4-quinolones

Abstract

A highly efficient organocatalytic one-pot enantioselective synthesis of (R)-2-aryl-2,3-dihydro-4-quinolones from o-aminoacetophenones and aryl aldehydes has been developed. The approach is characterized by being metal free, solvent free and protecting group free. A variety of 2-aryl-2,3-dihydro-4-quinolones could be obtained in good yields up to 99% ee.
