Aza-Diels-Alder reactions (ADARs) are powerful processes that furnish N-heterocycles in a straightforward fashion. Intramolecular variants offer the additional possibility of generating bi- and polycyclic systems with high stereoselectivity. We report herein a novel Brønsted acid catalyzed process in which ortho-quinone methide imines tethered to the dienophile via the N substituent react in an intramolecular ADAR to form complex quinolizidines and oxazinoquinolines in a one-step process. The reactions proceed under very mild conditions, with very good yields and good to very good diastereo- and enantioselectivities. Furthermore, the process was extended to a domino reaction that efficiently combines substrate synthesis, ortho-quinone methide imine formation, and ADAR.
