“…Removal of the solvent left a crude mixture, which was separated by thin‐layer chromatography (silica gel, ethyl acetate–hexane mixture) to give quinoline ( 3a ) (0.132 g, 102%). Except for new compound 3l , which was characterized spectroscopically as shown below, all quinolines were characterized by GLC and/or spectroscopic comparision with authentic samples synthesized by known methods 25–29…”
