Investigation of Catalytic Methods for the Preparation of N-Heterocycles Anna G. Wenzel; W.M. Keck Science Center, Claremont CA 91711 • Air- and moisture-tolerant • Substrate scope extends to both aryl and aliphatic electrophiles • Reaction selective for N-acyl pyrroles (e.g. 2b favored over 2a) • Electronic tuning of the carbamate in 1 critical for nucleophilicity • Methodology a lead discovery point for new Brønsted acid catalysts A catalytic method for the preparation of dihydroquinolines utilizing copper triflate: J S D Joint Science Department Claremont McKenna College ♦ Pitzer College ♦ Scripps College Members of the Claremont Colleges
