Abstract

A straightforward and efficient method for the synthesis of quinolines via Friedländer reaction of 2-aminobenzaldehyde with various ketones or malononitrile in water without using any catalyst at 70 ˚C is reported.

Key words

catalyst-free - water - Friedländer reaction - ketones - quinolines
