Notes:
Novel Lewis acid-catalyzed cyclizations of N-arylimines and N-benzylimines derived from amino acids and terpenes allow the diastereoselective preparation of octahydroacridines, indolizino[3,4-b]quinolines, indolizidines, quinolizidines and piperidines. Although these two types of reactions can be classified as formal hetero-Diels-Alder and hetero-ene reactions respectively, both proceed stepwise via cationic intermediates, which allow stereochemical control via chelate complexes. Stereochemical and mechanistical studies are described briefly.
