Abstract
An Ir-catalyzed synthesis of functionalized quinolines from 2-aminobenzyl alcohols and α,β-unsaturated ketones tolerates a broad range of functional groups, offers high efficiency, is environmentally benign, and can be performed on a gram scale. Alkali is essential for the high selectivities of this catalytic system.
