Enantioselective Construction of Chiral Quinoline Scaffold via a Michael Addition/O-Alkylation Sequence

Abstract

An enantioselective Michael/O-alkylation cascade between hydroxyquinolines and chloronitroalkenes was developed, constructing chiral dihydrofuroquinoline scaffolds in high enantioselectivity under mild conditions. The direct modification of hydroxylcamptothecin and the discovery of anti-tumour (MCF-7 cell lines) leads highlight the potential of this process.
