Abstract

AbstractA ruthenium–carbon nanotube nanohybrid was employed as a catalyst in the tandem transformation of nitrochalcones into quinoline N‐oxides. Partial reduction of the nitro group to a hydroxylamine, followed by in situ intramolecular condensation to the carbonyl afforded the quinoline‐N‐oxides in satisfactory to good yields. Reduction of the nitro group was selective and independent of changes in the reaction conditions. Highlights of this method include a very low catalyst loading relative to that required for conventional methods for the synthesis of quinoline N‐oxides and mild reaction conditions.
