Abstract

A transition metal-free protocol has been developed for the synthesis of 3-acyl quinolines through aza-Michael addition and intramolecular annulation of enaminones with anthranils. Both methanesulfonic acid (MSA) and NaI play an important role in the reaction. This ring-opening/reconstruction strategy features easy operation, high yields, broad substrate scope and excellent efficiency.
