The indium trichloride-catalyzed reaction between aromatic imines and α,β-unsaturated N,N-dimethylhydrazones in acetonitrile afforded 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinolines bearing a hydrazone function at C4 through a one-pot diastereoselective domino process that involves the formation of two C-C bonds and the controlled generation of two stereocenters, one of which is quaternary. This reaction constitutes the first example of an α,β-unsaturated dimethylhydrazone that behaves as a dienophile in a hetero Diels-Alder reaction. The related reaction between anilines, aromatic aldehydes, and methacrolein dimethylhydrazone in CHCl3 with BF 3·Et2O as catalyst afforded polysubstituted 1,2,3,3a,4,8b-hexahydropyrrolo[3,2-b]indoles as major products through a fully diastereoselective ABB′C four-component domino process that generates two cycles, three stereocenters, two C-C bonds, and two C-N bonds in a single operation.
