An efficient method for the direct synthesis of substituted quinolines from anilines and aldehydes through C–H functionalization, C–C/C–N bond formation, and C–C bond cleavage has been developed. The method is simple and practical and employs air as an oxidant.

Herein, a novel cobalt(III)‐catalyzed and TFA‐controlled [3+2+1] cyclization of diverse anilines and terminal alkynes has been realized by using DMSO as both the solvent and the C1 source, which led to the specific synthesis of privileged 3‐arylquinolines in one pot and regioselectively. Mechanistic investigations revealed that this versatile transformation might be initiated with a C−H activation
