Abstract
Here we report a mild Ag-catalyzed domino acetalization reaction using quinoline-2-carboxylates, which were substructures in a number of natural products. Methanol was directly utilized as the source of the acetal part. The main features of the domino reaction include the Minisci reaction, oxidation, and acetalization. Hydrogen fluoride generated in-situ participates in the Minisci reaction, and no external acids were needed. This domino reaction provides a simple and versatile route to heteroaromatic acetals under mild condition with good functional group tolerance using methanol.
