Abstract

An efficient copper-catalyzed intermolecular decarboxylative cascade cyclization of aryl aldehydes, anilines, and acrylic acid permits the direct synthesis of 2-substituted quinolines. This method features promising chemo- and regioselectivity and also tolerates a wide variety of substrates with excellent functional-group tolerance, high yields, a radical reaction pathway, and aerobic reaction conditions.
