A one-pot synthesis of novel 2-(2-hydroxyaryl)quinolines have been developed from the intramolecular reductive coupling reactions of 2′-hydroxy-2-nitrochalcones, induced by stannous chloride in acidic medium (HCl/AcOH). In some cases these transformations can be performed with ammonium formate/Pd–C in methanol.
