Abstract
A [5+1]-cyclization of 2-vinylanilines with tetraalkylthiuram disulfides in the presence of iodine and copper(II) triflate provides a variety of 2-aminoquinolines in very good yields. This facile one-step synthesis directly employs readily available and low-cost thiurams as both a C1 synthon and a nitrogen source.
