Cobaltaphotocatalysed intramolecular hydroarylation of alkenes for the construction of tetrahydroquinolines

1,2,3,4-Tetrahydroquinolines are a class of heterocycles that commonly feature in both biologically active natural products and pharmaceuticals. However, their synthesis is often dominated by either high-pressure hydrogenation reactions or acid-mediated Friedel–Crafts-like hydroarylations. Recently, cobalt-salen cataly...
