Abstract

δ-Hydroxy-α,β-unsaturated aldehydes undergo smooth coupling with enamines derived from arylamines and 1,3-diketones in the presence of 10% InCl3 in CH2Cl2 under mild reaction conditions to afford sugar fused N-aryltetrahydropyridine derivatives in good yields with high selectivity. The salient features of this method are high conversions, mild reaction conditions, short reaction times, high selectivity and operational simplicity.

Key words

Perlin aldehyde - 1,3-diketones - indium(III) salts - N-aryltetrahydropyridines
