“…In view of our interest in the development of green chemistry procedures [ 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 , 29 , 30 , 31 , 32 , 33 , 34 ], we report herein the use of PEG400 as an efficient medium for nucleophilic aromatic substitution (S N Ar) of some nitrogen-containing fused heterocycles with various amines. S N Ar involving amines have been carried out and studied in conventional organic solvents [ 35 , 36 , 37 , 38 , 39 ] but also in non-volatile alternative media such as ionic liquids [ 40 , 41 , 42 , 43 , 44 ], but, to the best of our knowledge, this reaction has never been reported using PEG as the solvent.…”
