title: Iron-promoted tandem reaction of anilines with styrene oxides via C-C cleavage for the synthesis of quinolines.
abstract: A novel iron-promoted tandem reaction of anilines with styrene oxides via C-C cleavage and C-H activation has been developed. The reaction utilizes an inexpensive FeCl(3) as promoter and is suitable for forming a variety of 3-arylquinolines from the simple and readily available starting materials.
