Facile and Efficient Synthesis of 2-Aminoquinoline-3-carboxylic Acid Derivatives via Reductive Cyclization of Nitro and Cyano Groups Induced by Low-valent Titanium

Abstract

A short and facile synthesis of a series of 2-aminoquinoline-3-carboxylic acid derivatives was accomplished in good yields via the intramolecular reductive cyclization of nitrocyano olefins promoted by TiCl₄/Zn.
