The cycloa
ddition of aromatic azomethine imines to 1,1-cyclopropane
diesters was achieve
d using Ni(ClO
4)
2 as catalyst. The metho
dologygives access to unique tricyclic
dihy
droquinoline
derivatives with
dr up to 6.6:1. A nonconcerte
d mechanism is propose
d on the
basis ofstereochemical analysis of the reaction.
