In this paper we report an unexpected synthesis of the 2,3,4‐trisubstituted quinoline systems. The reaction between imino‐isatin (synthesized from the reaction of isatin and ammonia (2 M in MeOH)) and dialkylacetylenedicarboxylates proceeds in MeOH at room temperature in the presence of pyridine as an organocatalyst. The structures of all new compounds were corroborated spectroscopically ( 1 H‐ and 13 C‐NMR, and elemental analysis). A plausible mechanism for this type of reaction is proposed.
