As. Kiselyov et al., SOLID SUPPORT SYNTHESIS OF POLYSUBSTITUTED TETRAHYDROQUINOLINES VIA 3-COMPONENT CONDENSATION CATALYZED BY YB(OTF)(3), Tetrahedron, 54(20), 1998, pp. 5089-5096
Solid support synthesis of polysubstituted tetrahydroquinolines is des
cribed. The procedure is based on a three-component condensation invol
ving immobilized derivatives of 4-aminophenylalanine, aldehydes, alken
es and Yb(OTf)(3) as a catalyst. The methodology is further expanded t
o the solid support synthesis of tricyclic tetrahydroquinoline by the
concomitant formation of the Schiff base followed by intramolecular tr
ap of the alkene. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
