Abstract
A new catalytic enantioselective tandem deoxygenation/aza-Diels-Alder reaction of nitrones with enecarbamates was serendipitously discovered in the presence of chiral copper(II) diphosphate complexes. This process affords a wide range of 4-aminotetrahydroquinolines in respectable yields under mild conditions with good to excellent ee values.
