TL;DR: In this article, a one-pot synthesis of tetrahydroquinolines based upon reaction of aromatic amines and formaldehyde with electron rich alkenes such as styrene, α-methylstyrene, 1-phenylcyclohexene and 3,4-dihydro-2H-pyran was established.

TL;DR: The one pot synthesis of Tetrahydroquinolines can be achieved by reaction of aromatic amines and formaldehyde with a variety of electron rich alkenes including styrenes and enol ethers as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: An efficient one pot synthesis of azasteroids and related Tetrahydroquinoline skeletons has been developed by reaction of aromatic primary amines with formaldehyde and cyclopentadiene as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: In this paper, the structure of cyclic amidine products is confirmed by single crystal X-ray analysis on a neutral amidine isolated from an aminopyridine substituted with an electron withdrawing trifluoromethyl group.

TL;DR: By reaction of mono-and di-aminoanthraquinones with formaldehyde and diverse electron rich alkenes in acetonitrile in the presence of trifluoroacetic acid cyclocondensation, the resulting tetra-, penta- and hepta-cyclic products all contain the anthraquinone substructure as mentioned in this paper.
