Abstract

Abstract The efficient, regioselective synthesis of functionalized/annulated quinolines was achieved by the coupling of 2-aminoaryl ketones with alkynes/active methylenes/α- oxoketene dithioacetals promoted by InCl 3 in refluxing acetonitrile as well as under solvent- free conditions in excellent yields. This transformation presumably proceeded through the hydroamination–hydroarylation of alkynes, and the Friedländer annulation of active ...
