Electrochemical Cascade Annulation for the Synthesis of 3‐Sulfanylquinoline Derivatives Under Mild Conditions

Comprehensive Summary An efficient electrochemical approach has been developed for the construction of 3‐sulfanylquinoline derivatives by treating phenylethynylbenzoxazinanones with disulfides in an undivided cell. The protocol provided a convenient route to functionalized quinolines with good functional group tolerance. Moreover, it does not require any metal catalysts or additives, furnishing a series of biological quinolines in moderate to good yields.
