A stepwise dearomatization/nitration/enantioselective homoenolate reactions of quinolines to construct C3-nitro-substituted tetrahydroquinolines

Herein, we describe a stepwise 1,2-reductive dearomatization/selective C3-nitration of quinoline and next, highly catalytic, and enantioselective homoenolate addition reaction strategy to construct N-acetyl 3,4-disubstituted tetrahydroquinoline in good yields with remarkably...
