Three-component reactions of ethyl/methyl lactate, anilines and aldehydes providing quinolines have been developed via simple iron(III) chloride catalysis without using an additional organic medium or external oxidant. This three-component protocol shows high efficiency and broad substrate tolerance, allowing quick access to diverse quinoline products under neat reaction conditions. The results reported
