title: Synthesis of 2H-chromenes and 1,2-dihydroquinolines from aryl aldehydes, amines, and alkenylboron compounds.
abstract: The one-step reaction of salicylaldehydes with amines and alkenyl boronic acids or alkenyl trifluoroborates to form 2H-chromenes (2H-1-benzopyrans) has been investigated in more detail and new suitable conditions have been identified, including the use of tertiary amines and protic solvents including water. This process was applied to a concise synthesis of a tocopherol analog. The analogous condensation reaction between 2-sulfamidobenzaldehydes and alkenyl trifluoroborates provides an efficient synthesis of 1,2-dihydroquinoline derivatives.
