Efficient Synthesis of Quinolines Through Acceptorless Dehydrogenative Coupling Enabled by an Air‐Stable Iridium(III) Pyrazolato Catalyst
Quinoline derivatives were synthesized efficiently through acceptorless dehydrogenative coupling of amino alcohols or amino ketones with secondary alcohols using an air‐stable iridium(III) pyrazolato complex as catalyst. The protocol can operate under solvent‐free condition with catalyst loadings as low as 0.3 mol%,...
