The Synthesis of 3-Arylquinolines from o-Nitrobenzaldehydes and b-Nitrostyrenes via an Iron-Promoted Reductive Cyclization

摘要

An iron-mediated one-pot synthesis of 3-arylquinolines from onitrobenzaldehydes and b-nitrostyrenes has been developed. Iron acted as dual roles to trigger the reduction of onitrobenzaldehydes and reduction hydrolysis of b-nitrostyrenes, which subsequently integrated to quinoline derivatives.
