Copper-Catalyzed Synthesis of Substituted Quinolines via C–N Coupling/Condensation from <i>ortho</i>-Acylanilines and Alkenyl Iodides

Abstract

An efficient cascade copper-catalyzed intermolecular Ullmann-type C–N coupling/enamine condensation reaction is described, in which <i>ortho</i>-acylanilines and alkenyl iodides converted to multisubstituted quinolines in good to excellent yields
