The synthesis of dihydroquinoline‐fused canthines by intramolecular aza‐Diels–Alder reaction between N ‐prenylated 1‐formyl‐9 H ‐β‐carbolines and substituted anilines in the presence of a Lewis acid, followed by oxidation, is described. Additionally, it has been found that the N ‐protected aldehyde in the presence of a suitable catalyst [ZnBr 2 or Yb(OTf) 3 ] undergoes intramolecular carbonyl–ene reaction in a diastereoselective fashion to afford the syn or anti isomer of a new canthine derivative.
