Abstract

o-Iodoanilides 4 reacted with terminal acetylenic carbinols 5 under palladium-catalyzed conditions to yield o-substituted anilides 6. Most of the anilides 6 could be cyclized with NaOEt/EtOH to 2-arylquinolines 2. o-Iodoanilines 7 reacted with carbinols 5 leading to 8 which on palladium (II) assisted cyclisation afforded substituted quinolines 2. An excellent synthesis of the alkaloid dubamine (2n) is reported. Also, the anilides 6 on acid-catalyzed ...
