title: Iodine-mediated intramolecular electrophilic aromatic cyclization in allylamines: a general route to synthesis of quinolines, pyrazolo[4,3-b]pyridines, and thieno[3,2-b]pyridines.
abstract: An unprecedented synthesis of aromatic ring annulated pyridines from suitably substituted primary allylamines via intramolecular electrophilic aromatic cyclization mediated by molecular iodine under mild conditions is described.
