Abstract
A Ru(Ⅲ)-catalyzed annulation reaction of 2-aminoaromatic aldehydes (ketones) and isoxazoles to afford diverse 3-cyanoquinolines has been developed. Notably, isoxazole acted as a cyclization reagent and nontoxic cyano source via N-O bond cleavage and fragmentation. Variously substituted (especially 6- or 7-substituted) quinolines could be easily afforded. This procedure features wide functional group compatibility, efficiency and avoiding toxic cyano source. Meanwhile, this protocol could be successfully applied to scale-up synthesis. Further chemical transformations of 3-cyanoquinoline could give some valuable skeletons, demonstrating its potential in synthetic application
