2-Arylquinoline derivatives are key components of many enantioselective catalysts, but existing synthetic routes are few in number. Here atroposelective aminocatalytic aza-Michael addition of amino-benzaldehydes to iminium intermediates yields single-enantiomer 2- arylquinoline derivatives with high selectivity
