A one-pot tandem approach to [1,2,3]triazolo[1,5-a]quinolines was developed from (E)-β-chlorovinyl ketones and 2-azidoaryl carbonyls using a sequence of α-vinyl aldol and azide-alkyne cycloaddition reactions. In particular, the intramolecular azide-alkyne cycloaddition of allenol intermediates was readily promoted by a synergistic action of NEt3 and nickel catalysts. Given that the [1,2,3]triazolo[1,5-a]quinolines are useful synthetic precursors to α-diazoimines through ring-chain isomerization process, the subsequent denitrogenative transformations should provide ready access to valuable heterocyclic compounds.
