39. Formation of quinolines have been observed in transition-metal-catalyzed reductive annulations of β-(2-nitrophenyl)-α,β-unsaturated ketones and aldehydes. These reactions probably occur by initial reduction of the nitro-group to an amine, followed by condensation with the carbonyl. See: (a) Watanabe, Y.; Takatsuki, K.; Shim, S. C. Bull. Chem. Soc. Jpn. 1978, 51, 3397.
