Abstract

A radical addition/cyclization cascade of o-cyanoarylacrylamides with magnesium nitrate hexahydrate is developed. This reaction exhibits good functional group tolerance and wide substrate scope, provides a highly efficient and practical access to nitro-containing quinoline-2,4(1H,3H)-diones.
