Synthesis of Substituted 1,2-Dihydroquinolines and Quinolines from Aromatic Amines and Alkynes by Gold(I)-Catalyzed Tandem Hydroamination−Hydroarylation under Microwave-Assisted Conditions

Abstract

A method to efficiently prepare substituted 1,2-dihydroquinolines and quinolines by Au(I)-catalyzed tandem hydroamination-hydroarylation under microwave irradiation was developed. This method requires short reaction time (10-70 min) and has a broad substrate scope.
