摘要

A convergent formal [4 + 2] cycloaddition reaction for the construction of structurally appealing spiro-tetrahydroquinolines has been developed, in which, a one-pot reaction is established for the in situ generation of two reagents, a cyclic alkyne and an N-aryliminium ion, from the corresponding precursors in the presence of an Au-catalyst and BrOnsted acid, respectively.
