Simple yet efficient: A series of diverse substituted tetrahydroquinoxalines and dihydroquinoxalinones have been synthesized for the first time in a highly enantioselective fashion (see scheme). Using this metal-free hydrogenation it is possible to isolate these products, which are of high pharmaceutical interest, in good yields and with excellent enantioselectivities in a minimal number of reaction steps.
