Abstract

A facile catalyst-free method for the synthesis of 2-vinylquinolines via a direct deamination reaction during Mannich synthesis has been developed. Instantaneous hydrogen transfer via a six-membered ring intermediate is proposed as a key step for the direct deamination reaction. This reaction strategy tolerates a broad substrate scope and provides a highly efficient way to synthesize 2-vinylquinolines with adequate yields.
