Abstract

A convenient, efficient and simple one-pot method for the synthesis of quinaldates was developed by three-component coupling reaction of an arylamine (1), ethyl glyoxylate and an aliphatic aldehyde (2) in the presence of Lewis acid catalyst.The reaction proceeded most effectively using Yb(OTf) 3 as a catalyst.
