Abstract

Baylis–Hillman reactions of 2-nitrobenzaldehydes with various activated alkenes afford adducts that undergo reductive cyclisation to quinoline derivatives. The chemo-and regioselectivity of cyclisation appears to be influenced by the choice of both the substrate and the reagent system, and competing reactions have been observed.
