Synthesis of quinolines by ruthenium‐catalyzed heteroannulation of anilines with 3‐amino‐1‐propanol

Abstract

Abstract Anilines react with 3‐amino‐1‐propanol in dioxane in the presence of a catalytic amount of a ruthenium catalyst and tin(II) chloride dihydrate together with a hydrogen acceptor to afford the corresponding quinolines in moderate yields.
