A unique, ruthenium-catalyzed, [3 + 3] annulation of anilines with allyl alcohols in the synthesis of substituted quinolines is reported. The method employs a traceless directing group strategy in the proximal C-H bond activation and represents a one-pot Domino synthesis of quinolines from anilines.
