A switchable reductive cyclization of <i>o</i> -alkyl nitroarenes: divergent synthesis of heterocycles
This metal-free protocol enables the rapid and highly selective conversion of ortho -alkyl nitroaromatics into diverse heterocycles—including thiophenes, quinolines, and N -hydroxyindoles—in moderate to good yields.
