A highly facile single‐step synthetic approach to 3‐iodoquinolines has been developed for the first time from readily available 2‐aminobenzophenones and terminal alkynes. The reaction involves the nucleophilic addition of terminal alkynes to 2‐aminobenzophenones followed by a regioselective iodocyclization (6‐endo‐dig) to furnish 2,4‐disubstituted 3‐iodoquinolines in high yields. In general, 2,4‐diaryl‐substituted products were isolated without the need for column chromatography.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
