Palladium-catalysed imidoylative difunctionalization of allenes: access to quinolines and indeno1,2-bquinolines

Key Points

• The study aims to develop a method for synthesizing multisubstituted quinolines using a palladium-catalyzed difunctionalization of allenes.
• Three-component reaction involving allenes, isocyanides, aryl iodides, and nucleophiles.
• Palladium-catalyzed imidoylative amination, etherification, and alkylation.
• Synthesis of various amines, phenols, and malononitriles.
• Successful synthesis of multisubstituted quinolines.
• Demonstrated versatility in functional group incorporation.
• Provided a new synthetic route not previously available.
