Reversibility in Lewis-acid Promoted Reactions of N-Arylcinnamamides

Abstract

The Lewis-acid promoted cyclisation reactions of N-arylcinnamamides have been investigated. With aluminium ­chloride a range of products were obtained, while much more se­lective cyclisation reactions were observed with bismuth chloride.

Friedel-Crafts - quinoline - Lewis acid - microwave
