摘要
A one-pot catalytic asymmetric route to novel chiral quaternary-carbon-containing cyclobutanone-fused 4-aminoquino-line derivatives in good to high yields and enantioselectivities is described. This process consists of a chiral phosphoric acid -catalyzed desymmetric carbonyl-amine condensation of prochiral cyclobutane-1,3-diones with 2-halogenated anilines and a Pd -catalyzed coupling reaction of the chiral enaminone intermediates with isocyanides.
