LPDE-Catalyzed Intramolecular Cyclization of Arylimines: A Facile Synthesis of Tetrahydrochromanoquinolines

Abstract
Lithium perchlorate in diethyl ether (LPDE) is found to catalyze an intrarmolecular cyclization of aldimines derived from aromatic amines and O-prenyl derivatives of salicylaldehydes to afford the corresponding tetrahydrochromano[4,3-b]quinoline derivatives in excellent yields with moderate diastereoselectivity.
