The synthesis of imidazo[1,5-a]quinolines via a decarboxylative cyclization under metal-free conditions.

ABSTRACT: An iodine-mediated decarboxylative cyclization was developed from α-amino acids and 2-methyl quinolines under metal-free conditions, affording a variety of imidazo[1,5-a]quinolines with moderate to good yields.
