“…Quinoline analogues are also a building block for the preparation of a wide range of value-added products used in various industries such as food, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics. Various conventional reactions such as Skraup reaction [1], Doebner-Miller reaction [2], Friedlander reaction [3], Pfitzinger reaction [4], Conrad-Limpach reaction [5], and Combes reaction [6] were reported depending on the substitution of the target compound. A large number of quinoline derivatives, 2-methylquinoline (quinaldine) for example, have showed significant biological activities, such as antimalarial [7], analgesic [8], anti-inflammatory [9], anticancer [10], antibacterial [11], and antifungal [12].…”
