Copper-Catalyzed Tandem Reaction of Enamino Esters with ortho-Halogenated Aromatic Carbonyls: One-Pot Approach to Functionalized Quinolines

摘要

An efficient and practical approach for the synthesis of functionalized quinolines has been developed by using the copper-catalyzed tandem C–C bond formation and C–N coupling reaction of enamino esters and ortho-halogenated aromatic carbonyl compounds. Various functional groups were tolerated under the reaction conditions, and a series of quinolines were easily obtained in moderate to good yields. A gram-scale reaction was also performed to demonstrate a further application of this synthetic method.
