title: Construction of spiro-tetrahydroquinolines via intramolecular dearomatization of quinolines: free of a preinstalled activation group.
abstract: A highly efficient synthesis of spiro-tetrahydroquinolines (up to 99% yield) has been realized via cascade hydrogenative dearomatization of quinoline and intramolecular aza-Friedel-Crafts alkylation reaction.
