Our study presents a novel enantioselective route for the synthesis of 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinolines via a chiral phosphoric acid-catalyzed three-component Povarov reaction, employing phenolic dienes as dienophiles. This approach produces a diverse array of 2,3,4-trisubstituted tetrahydroquinolines, each featuring a styryl group at position 4, in high yields with excellent regio-, diastereo-, and enantioselectivities (>95:5 dr and up to >99% ee).
