title: Intramolecular Aldol reaction of N-acylated (2-aminophenyl)-alpha-oxoacetic acids: rapid access to tri- and tetracyclic 1,2-dihydroquinolin-2(1H)-ones.
abstract: A four-step synthesis of tri- and tetracyclic 1,2-dihydroquinolin-2(1H)-ones via acylation of various substituted isatins with readily available N-Boc-protected aminoacids followed by an intramolecular aldol reaction and cyclization has been developed. The final products were obtained in moderate to excellent overall yields.
