title: Selective conversion of diallylanilines and arylimines to quinolines.
abstract: A variety of diallylanilines are shown to undergo cobalt-carbonyl catalyzed rearrangement to quinolines. Diallylanilines are also used as allyl transfer reagents to convert benzaldimines into quinolines. Substitution in the 2- and 3-positions of the quinoline is featured in all transformations.
