Synthesis of 2,5-Disubstituted Octahydroquinolin-4-ones via anIntramolecular Hetero Diels-Alder Reaction

A route for the preparation of 2,5-disubstituted octahydroquinolin-4-ones, synthetic precursors of the decahydroquinoline-type toxins, is presented. The key steps are an asymmetric epoxidation and an intramolecular hetero Diels-Alder reaction between an activated diene and an imine. The presence of...
