Facile synthesis of 2-substituted quinolines and 3-alkynyl-2-aryl-2H-Indazole via SnCl2-mediated reductive cyclization†
Abstract
A rapid and efficient SnCl2·2H2O mediated synthesis of quinolines and indazoles has been developed using A3-coupling followed by reductive cyclization. The key highlights are the formation of quinoline in a one-pot fashion and indazole through N–N bond formation.
