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.
