A Direct Synthesis of 6-Pyridinyl-2(1H)-quinolinonesviaPalladium-Catalysed Cross-Coupling Reaction

Abstract
Pyridinylzinc chlorides were treated with 6-haloquinolinones in the presence of a catalytic amount of tetrakis(triphenylphosphine) palladium to give the corresponding 6-pyridinylquinolinones in moderate to high yields.
