Synthesis of 1-benzazepines has been achieved via a [1,5]-hydride shift/7-endo cyclization sequence. The focus of this research is a direct transformation of 2-(aryl)cyclopropane 1,1-diester derivatives into 1-benzazepines using a cyclopropane moiety as the hydride acceptor in internal redox reactions.

Enantioselective organocatalytic synthesis of tetrahydroquinolines has been achieved via Saegusa‐type oxidative enamine catalysis/1,5‐hydride transfer/cyclization sequences. The feature of this research is a one‐pot transformation of 3‐aryl aldehydes into tetrahydroquinolines by using environmentally benign catalytic Saegusa oxidation and highly efficient internal redox reactions. The synthetically useful ring‐fused tetrahydroquinoline derivatives were obtained in moderate yields and high levels of enantioselectivity.

Enantioselective organocatalytic synthesis of tetrahydroquinolines has been achieved via an aerobic oxidation and a 1,5-hydride transfer/cyclization sequence. The feature of this research is a one-pot transformation of 3-arylprop-2-en-1-ol derivatives into tetrahydroquinolines using a Ru(VII)-catalyzed aerobic oxidation and highly efficient internal redox reactions. The synthetically useful ring-fused tetrahydroquinoline derivatives are obtained in moderate yields and high levels of enantioselectivity.
