摘要
An iron-catalyzed strategy for the rapid synthesis of indolo[2,3-c]quinolines has been developed.This cascade reaction involving alcohol oxidation,nitro reduction,and oxidative annulation was achieved in a one-pot.The present protocol was started from mono-functionalized indoles and readily available benzylic alcohols/aldehydes,affording a variety of functionalized indolo[2,3-c]quinolines in satisfactory yields.
