Catalytic Enantioselective Intramolecular Redox Reactions: Ring-Fused Tetrahydroquinolines
The first example of a catalytic enantioselective intramolecular hydride shift/ring closure reaction is reported. This redox neutral reaction cascade allows for the efficient formation of ring-fused tetrahydroquinolines in high enantioselectivities.
