A one-pot, two-step synthesis of α-O-, S-, and Nsubstituted 4-methylquinoline derivatives through Cu-catalyzed aerobic oxidations of N-hydroxyaminoallenes with alcohols, thiols, and amines is described. This reaction sequence involves an initial oxidation of N-hydroxyaminoallenes with NuH (Nu = OH, OR, NHR, and SR) to form 3-substituted 2-en-1-ones, followed by Bronsted acid catalyzed intramolecular cyclizations of the resulting products. Our mechanistic analysis suggests that the reactions proceed through a radical-type mechanism rather than a typical ni-trone-intermediate route. The utility of this new Cu-catalyzed reaction is shown by its applicability to the synthesis of several 2-amino-4-methylquinoline derivatives, which are known to be key precursors to several bioactive molecules.
