Abstract

COOH as a weakly coordinating and traceless directing group is essential for a synthesis of diverse polysubstituted quinolines from readily available acrylic acids and anthranils. Diverse polysubstituted quinolines were obtained under mild reaction conditions with simple H₂O and CO₂ as byproducts.
