SYNTHESES OF QUINOLINES AND THEIR DERIVATIVES FROM α,β-UNSATURATED ALDEHYDES

Abstract

The methods for the synthesis of quinoline and its hydrogenated derivatives from α,β-unsaturated aldehydes have been summarized for the first time. The review highlights the advances in this area over the past 15 years. Particular attention is focused on the use of catalytic systems, synthetic advantages, and mechanistic aspects of the reactions.
