Abstract
An atom-economical protocol to construct densely substituted 4-acyl-2-quinolones from N-(2-alkynylphenyl)-α-ketoamides has been developed through Sc(OTf)3-catalyzed ring-closing alkyne-carbonyl metathesis. Mechanistic experimental studies support that coordinative interaction between Sc(OTf))3 and the substrate, the formation of an oxetene intermediate, and an electrocyclic ring-opening of the oxetene might be involved.
