Abstract

A new method for converting 2-alkynyl arylazide derivatives into functionalized polysubstituted quinolines following a gold-catalyzed 1, 3-acetoxy shift/cyclization/1, 2-group shift sequence has been developed. This transformation proceeds under mild reaction conditions, is efficient, and tolerates a large variety of functional groups.
