A chemoselective and diastereoselective synthesis of fused oxazolidines was achieved by a three-component cascade reaction of tetrahydroisoquinolines (THIQs), α,β-unsaturated aldehydes, and diethyl 2-oxomalonate. Probably due to the reactivity difference between the aldehyde and the ketone, the reaction proceeded through the condensation of THIQs with α,β-unsaturated aldehydes and 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of the generated azomethine ylide intermediate with 2-oxomalonate. The key features are easily available starting materia
