p-TsOH catalyzed Diels-Alder reaction of 3-(indol-3-yl)maleimides with chalcone in toluene at 60 oC afforded two diastereoisomers of tetrahydropyrrolo[3,4-c]carbazoles, which can be dehydrogenated by DDQ oxidation in acetonitrile at room temperature to give the aromatized pyrrolo[3,4-c]carbazoles in high yields. On the other hand, the one-pot reaction of 3-(indol-3-yl)-1,3-diphenylpropan-1-ones with chalcones in acetonitrile in the presence of p-TsOH and DDQ resulted in polyfunctionalized carbazoles in satisfactory yields. The reaction mechanism included DDQ oxidative dehydrogenation of 3-(indol-3-yl)-1,3-diphenylpropan-1-ones to the corresponding 3-vinylindoles, its acid-catalyzed Diels-Alder reaction and sequential aromatization process.

The p-TsOH-catalyzed Diels–Alder reaction of 3-(indol-3-yl)maleimides with chalcone in toluene at 60 °C afforded two diastereoisomers of tetrahydropyrrolo[3,4-c]carbazoles, which can be dehydrogenated by DDQ oxidation in acetonitrile at room temperature to give the aromatized pyrrolo[3,4-c]carbazoles in high yields. On the other hand, the one-pot reaction of 3-(indol-3-yl)-1,3-diphenylpropan-1-ones with chalcones or benzylideneacetone in acetonitrile in the presence of p-TsOH and DDQ resulted in polyfunctionalized carbazoles in satisfactory yields. The reaction mechanism included the DDQ oxidative dehydrogenation of 3-(indol-3-yl)-1,3-diphenylpropan-1-ones to the corresponding 3-vinylindoles, their acid-catalyzed Diels–Alder reaction and sequential aromatization process.

Starting from readily available tertiary alcohols, four different reactions (i.e., a 1,3-migration of a hydroxy group, kinetic resolution, racemization, and an intramolecular Diels–Alder reaction) took place under the co-catalysis of lipase and oxovanadium compounds in a one-pot process to produce multisubstituted tricyclic carbon frameworks in high yields and high enantioselectivities. The key to the success of this process was the discovery that the silyl group attached to the terminal carbon of the vinyl moiety completely controls the direction of hydroxy group migration.

The 2,4-diaryl 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoline derivative (1), described in the title (Chemical formula: C23H22N2O3), was synthesized via the “one-pot” three-component imino Diels–Alder reaction catalyzed by Cu(OTf)2. Molecular characterization was performed by 1H and 13C NMR, Fourier transform-infrared, and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. The X-ray powder diffraction pattern for the title compound was analyzed and found to be crystallized in an orthorhombic system with space group P212121 (No. 19) and refined unit-cell parameters a = 8.6415(8) Å, b = 12.679(2) Å, c = 17.601(2) Å, and V = 1928.4(2) Å3.
