Intramolecular [4+2] cycloaddition reaction of aldimines derived from aroma
tic amines and O-allyl derivatives of salicylic aldehydes was efficiently c
atalyzed by BiCl3 to afford the corresponding tetrahydrochromano[4,3-b]quin
olines in excellent yields. The products are isolated as 1:1 mixture of dia
stereoisomers.
