4(1H)-Quinolinone Alkaloids. An Efficient Synthesis of Graveoline by Palladium-Catalysed ReductiveN-Heterocyclisation

Abstract
An efficient synthesis of the 4H-quinolone alkaloid graveoline has been achieved by a route featuring an Pd(II)-catalysed reductive N-hetero-cyclisation [CO(3 MPa), Pd(TMB)2, TMPhen, 170°C, 3h] of 2′-nitrochalcone as a key step.
