The reaction of the readily available N-methyl-N-phenylcinnamamides with phenyliodine bis(trifluoroacetate) (PIFA) in the presence of Lewis acids provides a general and efficient assembly of a variety of 3-arylquinolin-2-one compounds. This novel approach features not only metal-free oxidative C(sp(2))-C(sp(2)) bond formation but also an exclusive 1,2-aryl migration.
