A Novel Three-Component Reaction Involving Quinoline, Dimethyl Acetylene­dicarboxylate, and C-H Acids Leading to the Synthesis of Pyrroloquinoline­ Derivatives

Abstract

The zwitterion derived from quinoline and dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate on reaction with C-H acids afforded pyrroloquinoline derivatives.

Key words

zwitterion - quinoline - pyrroloquinoline - Michael addition
