Palladium-catalyzed three-component reaction of 2-alkynylbromobenzene, 2-alkynylaniline, and electrophile: an efficient pathway for the synthesis of diverse 11H-indeno[1,2-c]quinolines. 
Diverse 11H-indeno[1,2-c]quinolines are produced via a palladium-catalyzed three-component reaction of 2-alkynylbromobenzene, 2-alkynylaniline, and electrophile.  This conversion tolerates a wide variety of functionality and substitution patterns on the 11H-indeno[1,2-c]quinoline ring.
