An efficient synthetic route to highly functionalized naphthalenes and quinolines has been developed using domino reactions between Morita-Baylis-Hillman (MBH) acetates and active methylene compounds (AMCs) promoted by anhydrous K 2 CO 3 in dry N , N -dimethylformamide (DMF) at 23 °C. The substrates incorporate allylic acetates positioned adjacent to a Michael acceptor as well as an aromatic ring activated toward a S N Ar ring closure. A control experiment indicated that the initial reaction was an S N 2'-type displacement of a side chain acetoxy by the AMC anion to afford the alkene product bearing the added nucleophile trans to the S N Ar aromatic ring acceptor. Thus, equilibration of the alkene geometry of the initial product was required prior to cyclization. Products were isolated in good to excellent yields. Numerous cases (24) are reported, and several mechanistic possibilities are discussed.
