Abstract:A new simple one-pot two-step protocol for the synthesis of 2-oxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoline-3-carboxylate from 2-(2-(benzylamino)benzylidene)malonate under the action of BF3·Et2O was developed. It was shown that the reaction proceeds through the formation of a stable iminium intermediate containing a difluoroboryl bridge in the dicarbonyl fragment of the molecule.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
