title: Efficient construction of cyclopenta[b]quinoline core of isoschizozygane alkaloids via intramolecular formal hetero-Diels-Alder reaction.
abstract: [reaction: see text] Acid-catalyzed condensation of aromatic amines with delta,epsilon-unsaturated aldehydes, followed by intramolecular formal hetero Diels-Alder reaction, is described as a potential route to the cyclopenta[b]quinoline substructure of isoschizozygane alkaloids. Reactions are highly diastereoselective and produce adducts with up to four contiguous stereocenters.
