title: Acceptorless Dehydrogenative Cyclization of o-Aminobenzyl Alcohols with Ketones to Quinolines in Water Catalyzed by Water-Soluble Metal-Ligand Bifunctional Catalyst [Cp*(6,6'-(OH)2bpy)(H2O)][OTf]2.
abstract: The strategy for acceptorless dehydrogenative cyclization of o-aminobenzyl alcohols with ketones to quinolines in water has been accomplished. In the presence of [Cp*Ir(6,6'-(OH)2bpy)(H2O)][OTf]2, a series of desirable products were obtained in high yields. Notably, this research exhibits the potential for the construction of heterocycles via acceptorless dehydrogenative reactions in water catalyzed by water-soluble metal-ligand bifunctional catalysts.
