Abstract

A radical cascade methylation/cyclization of ortho‐cyanoarylacrylamides was developed by utilizing dicumyl peroxide as a methylation reagent. This transformation provides a simple and straightforward approach to methylated quinoline‐2,4(1H,3H)‐diones, and exhibits a wide substrate scope. Furthermore, this reaction could be readily scaled up. A possible mechanism is also proposed.
