Abstract

Two different protocols for a palladium-catalyzed CO gas-free carbonylative Sonogashira/cyclization sequence enable the preparation of functionalized 4-quinolones from 2-iodoanilines and alkynes in the presence of molybdenum hexacarbonyl as a solid source of CO. The first method yields the cyclized products after only 20 min of microwave heating at 120°C. The second method is a one-pot two-step sequence which runs at room temperature.
