Abstract

We have recently reported the generation of iminium ions from 4-aryl-1, 4-dihydropyridines and the intramolecular trapping of these electrophilic intermediates with carbon-carbon double bonds' and reactive heterocycle^.^,^ We have also noted other cyclization modes for 1, 4-dihydropyridines that either compete with iminium ion formation4 or utilize the iminium species at a secondary stage in the cy~ lization.~ We now report that the iminium ion ...
