Highlighted on the inside cover of this issue is the work of J. Carlos Menéndez and colleagues who have developed an efficient method for the synthesis of trans-2-aryl-4-arylamino-tetrahydroquinolines from 3,5-disubstituted anilines, vinyl ethers and aromatic aldehydes.

Diastereoselective, multicomponent access to trans-2-aryl-4-arylamino-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinolines via an AA′BC sequential four-component reaction and their application to 2-arylquinoline synthesis
