Phosphinocatalysis provides a new approach toward 3-substituted-4-quinolones. A simple procedure, which uses Ph<sub>3</sub>P as an inexpensive catalyst and <i>S</i>-phenyl 2-(<i>N</i>-tosylamido)benzothioates and activated alkynes as starting materials, provides direct access to several 3-aroyl-4-quinolones and methyl 4-quinolone-3-carboxylate esters. The reaction presumably occurs through general base catalysis, with the initial addition of Ph<sub>3</sub>P to the activated alkyne generating the ...[more]
