A substrate-induced dual utilization cascade reaction of N-alkyl anilines: highly site-selective sustainable synthesis of chromeno[4,3-b]quinolin-6-ones

Abstract

We describe a novel substrate-induced cascade reaction of N-alkyl anilines C(sp3)−N bond cleavage and reorganization into chromeno[4,3-b]quinolin-6-ones. N-alkyl anilines are not only used as a carbon source but also the...
