Abstract

Benzylamine as the nucleophilic catalyst enables an on-water synthesis of 2-substituted quinolines in excellent yields from 2-aminochalcone derivatives. This protocol offers simple operation, broad substrate scope, good functional group tolerance, easy product isolation by simple filtration, recycling of the catalyst, and gram-scale synthesis.
