Abstract

A novel, one-step synthesis of substituted pyridine-and quinoline-derivatives was achieved by acceptorless dehydrogenative coupling of γ-aminoalcohols with secondary alcohols. The reaction involves consecutive C–N and C–C bond formation, catalyzed by a bipyridyl-based ruthenium pincer complex with a base.
