Synthesis of diversely substituted indoloquinolinones via Pd(II)/Cu(II)-mediated oxidative C-C bond formation and I(III)-mediated C-N bond formation

Article abstract of DOI:10.1021/jo4023292

A series of indoloquinolinones bearing different aromatic substitutents were readily synthesized starting from an aryl amine, a methyl 3-oxo-3-phenylpropanoate derivative, and methoxylamine through a series of reactions of coupling/enamination, oxidative
