Selective Conversion of Diallylanilines and Arylimines to Quinolines
摘要:
A variety of diallylanilines are shown to undergo cobalt-carbonyl catalyzed rearrangement to quinolines. Diallylanilines are also used as allyl transfer reagents to convert benzaldimines into quinolines. Substitution in the 2- and 3-positions of the quinoline is featured in all transformations.
