Application of Baylis–Hillman methodology in a novel synthesis of quinoline derivatives

Abstract

Reaction of 2-nitrobenzaldehyde with vinyl carbonyl compounds in the presence of 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane affords Baylis–Hillman products, catalytic reduction of which results in direct cyclisation to quinoline derivatives.
