Redox-Annulation of Cyclic Amines and β-Ketoaldehydes.

ABSTRACT: Benzo[a]quinolizine-2-one derivatives are readily assembled from 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline and β-ketoaldehydes by means of a new intramolecular redox-Mannich process. These reactions are promoted by simple acetic acid and are thought to involve azomethine ylides as reactive intermediates.
