The tetrahydroquinoline moiety is a structural feature of many natural products. By using a domino reaction of aromatic amines and cyclic enol ethers catalyzed by zirconyl chloride in water, various tetrahydroquinoline derivatives were synthesized efficiently. Most cyclized products showed cis selectivity. The cis selectivity was tentatively rationalized due to chelation control in water.
