Abstract
In this work, a mild and efficient catalyst-free α-allylation of 3,4-dihydroisoquinoline imines with Morita-Baylis-Hillman (MBH) carbonates was reported. The scopes of 3,4-dihydroisoquinolines and MBH carbonates as well as gram-scale synthesis were investigated, and densely functionalized adducts were obtained in moderate to good yields. The synthetic utility of these versatile synthons was further demonstrated by the facile synthesis of diverse benzo[a]quinolizidine skeletons.
