Abstract

Herein, we present the iron-catalyzed oxidative cyclization of alcohol/methyl arene with 2-amino styrene to synthesize polysubstituted quinoline. Low-oxidation level substrates such as alcohols and methyl arenes are converted to aldehydes in the presence of an iron catalyst and di-t-butyl peroxide. Then, the quinoline scaffold is synthesized through imine condensation/radical cyclization/oxidative aromatization. Our protocol showed a broad substrate scope, and various functionalization and fluorescence applications of quinoline products demonstrated its synthetic ability.
