Abstract

A palladium-catalyzed annulation of N-acyl-o-alkynylanilines with isocyanides provides functionalized 2-aminoquinolines with high atom economy via an unconventional 6-endo-dig cyclization process. Further investigations of the mechanism revealed that an intramolecular acyl migration of the N-protecting groups is involved.
