Abstract
An iron-catalyzed intermolecular [4 + 2] cyclization of arylnitrones with geminal-substituted vinyl acetates enables the synthesis of 2,4-disubstituted quinolines in good yields with good functional group compatibilities. Preliminary mechanistic studies suggest an iron-catalyzed C-H activation process.
