“…Quinolines represent an important class of heterocycles that occur widely as natural products, pharmaceuticals, and functional materials and serve as useful synthetic building blocks in synthesis. , The construction of quinoline scaffolds is arguably one of the most important goals of the synthetic community and continues to attract the attention of synthetic chemists. − Attractive methods include the catalytic annulation reactions of aromatic compounds with 2π components (e.g., alkenes and alkynes) involving C(sp 2 )–H functionalization for targeting these skeleton constructions. , Among them, the oxidative tandem [4+2] cycloaddition of α-( N -arylamino) carbonyl compounds with alkenes has proven to be particularly efficient, which allows the formation of substituted quinolines via multiple C–H functionalization and annulation cascades (Scheme a). , However, available examples are less abundant, and a majority of them concern a limited olefin scope (e.g., monosubstituted and 1,2-disubstituted alkenes). Mancheño and co-workers first reported an FeCl 3 -promoted TEMPO oxoammonium salt-mediated dehydrogenative Povarov/oxidative tandem reaction of N -alkyl anilines with olefins for the one-pot synthesis of quinolines. , Jia, Wang, and co-workers have established a similar version for quinolines via a domino C–H functionalization/annulation of glycine derivatives with olefins using the trisarylaminium salt/InCl 3 /O 2 catalytic system. , Recently, Jia and co-workers extended the oxidative tandem annulation method to readily available 1,1-disubstituted olefins, where 3,4-dihydro-quinoline-3-ones were formed by a consecutive C–H functionalization/C–H oxidation of various glycines and N -benzylanilines.…”
