Palladium catalyzed one-pot synthesis of 2-(pyridin-4-yl) quinolines via a multicomponent unprecedented reaction of pyridine-4-carbaldehyde, 2-iodoaniline and triethylamine

Abstract

Palladium catalyzed synthesis of 2-(pyridin-4-yl) quinolines with an unprecedented participation of Et₃N in moderate to high yields was achieved in a novel multicomponent one-pot cyclization reaction of readily available pyridine-4-carbaldehyde, 2-iodoaniline and triethylamine in refluxing toluene.
