title: Copper-catalyzed oxidative direct cyclization of N-methylanilines with electron-deficient alkenes using molecular oxygen.
abstract: The oxidative direct cyclizaion of N-methylanilines with electron-deficient alkenes involving maleimides and benzylidene malononitriles through sp(3) and sp(2) C-H bond cleavage proceeds effectively under a CuCl(2)/O(2) catalysis to provide the corresponding tetrahydroquinolines in good yields.
