M. Arisawa et al., Synthesis of substituted 1,2-dihydroquinolines and quinolines using ene-ene metathesis and ene-enol ether metathesis, TETRAHEDR L, 42(45), 2001, pp. 8029-8033
We describe a novel and convenient method for quinoline synthesis using rin
g-closing olefin metathesis (RCM), ene-ene metathesis, and ene-enol ether m
etathesis. We also report the first example of enol silyl ether-ene metathe
sis to produce cyclic enol silyl ether. Using this method, versatile substi
tuted quinoline derivatives were readily prepared in excellent yield from a
nthranilic acid derivatives. C 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserv
