Abstract
A tandem Michael addition, C-C bond cleavage, and cyclization of 2-vinylanilines and alkynoates provides 2-substituted indoles and quinolines. Whereas C2-substituted indoles can be accessed in good yields under metal-free conditions, the simple method for the generation of the C2-substituted quinolines in moderate yields is Pd-catalyzed.
