Abstract

Cycloaddition of N-arylimines with α-methylstyrenes or 2,3-dihydrofuran was efficiently catalyzed by tris(4-bromophenyl)aminium hexachloroantimonate (Ar3N+·SbCl6 -) producing tetrahydroquinoline derivatives in excellent yields. The reaction was controlled sensitively by the oxidation potentials of the imine and the dienophile.
