Abstract

A new and convenient protocol is presented here for the synthesis of 3,6,8-tribromoquinolines via cascade cyclization of N-(3-phenylprop-2-ynyl)anilines employing N-bromosuccinimide as an electrophile. The metal-free process is carried out under mild conditions and is compatible with a variety of substituents. The Sonogashira coupling reaction regioselectively occurs at position C-6 of the obtained products.
