A rapid and an efficient method for the preparation of a variety of substituted quinolines has been developed through the reactions of o-aminoarylketones with carbonyl compounds containing a reactive a-methylene moiety in the presence of molten [Et 3 NH][HSO 4 ] under solvent-free conditions in high yields.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
