Quinolines and its derivatives are significant class of heterocyclic compounds which are identified as the key component in many natural products and biologically important molecules. We describe herein a facile method for the synthesis of quinoline derivatives from Morita‐Baylis‐Hillman (MBH) Alcohols
via
Palladium Catalyzed intramolecular aryl amination followed by allylic amination pathway. The reaction between a series of MBH alcohols and amino compounds (Tosyl, aliphatic and aromatic amines) under optimized reaction conditions with Pd(PPh
