Catalytic performance of Lewis acids have been investigated in the synthesis of 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinolines via cyclocondensation reaction of aniline derivatives with cyclic enol ethers such as 3,4-dihydro-2H-pyran and 2,3-dihydrofuran. The catalytic activity of various of these catalysts in different solvents was compared with other classical catalysts such as KSF clay (1.5 g), $InCl_3$ (10-20 mol%), $ZrOCl_2$ (10 mol%), $Sc(OTf)_3$ (3 mol%), PANI-$InCl_3$ (10 mol%), $I_2$ (20 mol%), $InCl_3$ (5 mol%), 4-npa (25 mol%) and Cellulose-$SO_3H$ (0.03 g).

An efficient Pictet-Spengler type reaction of N,O-acetal TMS ethers for the practical synthesis of 1-substituted tetrahydroquinolines, medicinally important alkaloids, has been accomplished. To demonstrate the versatility of this novel procedure, the total synthesis of calycotomine, a representative 1-hydroxymethyl substituted tetrahydroisoquinoline, is also described.
