In this letter, we report a novel synthesis of ethyl quinoline-3-carboxylates from reactions between a series of indoles and halodiazoacetates. The formation of the quinoline structure is probably the result of a cyclopropanation at the 2- and 3-positions of the indole followed by ring-opening of the cyclopropane and elimination of H–X.

An unstrained metal-containing macrocycle was ring-expanded by a ring-opening metathesis strategy, leading to the formation of a bimetallic dimeric macrocycle. The reaction is driven by coordination of a bulky ligand, 2,6-lutidine, on the fourth coordination site of the palladium center. In the absence of metal, or with a less bulky ligand, the ring-expansion reaction does not proceed.
