title: Gold(III)-mediated aldol condensations provide efficient access to nitrogen heterocycles.
abstract: Quinolines, dihydroquinolines, and aza-xanthones can be synthesized efficiently and under mild reaction conditions by means of a reaction sequence employing Au(III)-catalyzed aldol reactions as the key step.
