title: Ru-catalyzed synthesis of dihydrofuroquinolines from azido-cyclopropyl ketones.
abstract: An efficient Ru-catalyzed synthesis of dihydrofuroquinolines from azido-cyclopropyl ketones via the reduction-cyclization-rearrangement process is reported. A plausible reaction mechanism for this process is depicted. Additionally, when the reaction was carried out under H2 (1 atm) in the presence of Pd/C, 4-quinolones were obtained in excellent yields.
