A study was carried out on the effect of the nature and structure of the substituent in the aromatic ring of 2-(1-methyl-2-butenyl)anilines on the direction and structural selectivity of the their intramolecular cyclization to derivatives of quinoline and indole by the action of catalytic amounts of PdCl/sub 2/ or PdCl/sub 2/-(DMSO)/sub n/ complexes. The PMR spectra have two three-proton signals at 2.24 and 2.42 ppm related to 2-CH/sub 3/ and 4-CH/sub 3/. The signal for 3-H in the quinoline ring appears as a singlet at 6.66 ppm. The IR spectra lack an NH band, while the indole derivatives have a strong band at 3400 cm/sup -1/. The PMR spectra have signals for the ethyl group at 1.05 (t) and 2.48 ppm (q), for the methyl group at 2.13 ppm (s), and for the aromatic protons at 6.80-7.50 ppm.
