Domino imine condensation/intramolecular polar [4π+ + 2π]-cycloaddition of anilines and ω-unsaturated aldehydes: A versatile tool for the highly diastereoselective synthesis of 1,2,3,4,4a,9,9a,10-octahydroacridines

The highly diastereoselective synthesis of substituted 1,2,3,4,4a,9,9a,10-octahydroacridines 7, 8 with five stereogenic centers has been achieved by domino imine condensation/intramolecular polar [4π⁺ + 2π]-cycloaddition of anilines 3 and ω-uns
