Graphical Abstract

Building complexity: Diverse 4-aryl-2-quinolinones such as 1 are prepared from propionamides in one pot by pyridine ligand-promoted triple sequential CH activation reactions and a stereospecific Heck reaction. In these cascade reactions, three new CC bonds and one CN bond are formed to rapidly build molecular complexity from propionic acid.
