Transition Metal-Free Synthesis of 3-Acylquinolines through Formal [4+2] Annulation of Anthranils and Enaminones

A transition metal-free protocol has been developed for the synthesis of 3-acyl quinolines through aza-Michael addition and intramolecular annulation of enaminones with anthranils. Both methanesulfonic acid (MSA) and NaI play an important role in the reaction. This ring-opening/reconstruction strate...
