Cyclization reactions of several ethynylanilines were similarly run under the above optimal conditions, and the results are shown in Table 2. For example, the use of a substrate containing an electron-rich group afforded the desired product 3b in 79% yield (entry 2). The use of 2c gave the 2,4,6,7-tetrasubstituted quinoline 3c in good yield (entry 3). With the exception of the 4-fluoro-substituted aniline 2d, the use of an ethynylaniline derivative containing an ...
