title: Coupling cyclizations with fragmentations for the preparation of heteroaromatics: quinolines from o-alkenyl arylisocyanides and boronic acids.
abstract: Stereoelectronic restrictions on homoallylic ring expansion in alkyne cascades can be overcome by using alkenes as synthetic equivalents of alkynes in reaction cascades that are terminated by C-C bond fragmentation. Implementation of this approach using Mn(iii)-mediated reaction of o-alkenyl isocyanides and boronic acids leads to efficient synthesis of substituted quinolines.
