Regio- and chemoselective unprecedented imino-Diels-Alder reactions of 1-substituted unactivated dienes with N-aryl imines -: Part II

The chemo- as well as regioselective participation of N-aryl imines as 4 pi component in aza-Diels-Alder reactions with 3-butadienyl-2-azetidinones in the presence of Lewis acid catalysts resulting in novel quinoline derivatives is described.
