Part 3. A Novel Stereocontrolled, In Situ, Solution- and Solid-Phase, Aza Michael Approach for High-Throughput Generation of Tetrahydroaminoquinoline-Derived Natural-Product-like Architectures

With the goal of rapidly accessing tetrahydroquinoline-based natural-product-like polycyclic architectures, herein, we report an unprecedented, in situ, stereocontrolled Aza Michael approach in solution and on the solid phase. The mild reaction conditions required to reach the desired target are highly attractive for the use of this method in library generation. To our knowledge, this approach has not been used before, and it opens a novel route leading to a wide variety of tetrahydroquinoline-derived bridged tricyclic derivatives.
