Abstract:
A series of aza‐polycyles containing octahydroacridine core were prepared via an intramolecular aza‐Diels‐Alder reaction of a dimerized citral with various aromatic amines. This reaction is efficiently catalyzed by InCl3 at ambient temperature to afford the corresponding cyclized products in moderate to good yields.
