A one-pot method for the preparation of 1,2-substituted dihydroquinolines is described. This method features the C-2 addition of a range of organolithium reagents to quinoline followed by the in-situ addition of an electrophile. Standard palladium-catalys
Preparation of ortho-hydroxyalkylanilines as ortho-quinone methide imine precursors via an aminoborane complex

A general process for ortho-specific hydroxyalkylation of secondary anilines has been developed.N-Methylanilinochlorophenylboranes react readily with aryl aldehydes, and with α,β-unsaturated or saturated aliphatic aldehydes to give the corresponding ortho-hydroxyalkylanilines in good yield.Thermolysis of the latter generated the corresponding ortho-quinone methide imine, which can participate in an electrocyclic or intramolecular cycloaddition reaction to give various dihydro- and tetrahydroquinoline derivatives.Application of the method to the syntheses of 5-aza anal ogs of hexahydrocannabinol is demonstrated.Key words: quinone methide imine, ortho-hydroxyalkylaniline, azacannabinoids.
