Abstract
A green method to synthesize cinnolines by 6π electrocyclic reaction with alkenyl amines and TBN has been developed. TBN plays a dual role both as a nitrogen atom source and an oxidant in this procedure. Relevant mechanism experiments reveal that the reaction proceeds through electrocyclic reaction and with diazo hydroxide as a key intermediate.
