Abstract

Nitroarenes are reductively converted into quinoline derivatives with aliphatic alcohols in the presence of a catalytic amount of ruthenium compound at 180° C. Ruthenium (III) chloride is the most effective catalyst. The reaction of nitrobenzene with 1-propanol and 1-butanol gave 2-ethyl-3-methylquinoline and 3-ethyl-2-propylquinoline in 65 and 70% yields respectively. p-Methoxynitrobenzene gave 3-ethyl-6-methoxy-2-propylquinoline in 70% yield with 1- ...
