Oxygen-implanted MoS₂ nanosheets promoting quinoline synthesis from nitroarenes and aliphatic alcohols <i>via</i> an integrated oxidation transfer hydrogenation–cyclization mechanism

Abstract

We herein report that MoS 2 with oxygen-implanting modification (O-MoS 2 ) can work as a multifunctional catalyst to achieve the one-pot quinoline synthesis from basic nitroarenes and aliphatic alcohols.
