Abstract

Quinoline and their derivatives, which usually possess diverse biological activities, play important roles as versatile building blocks for the synthesis of natural products and as therapeutic agents. 1 In particular, 2-arylquinolines are biologically active and occur in structures of a number of antimalarial compounds and antitumor agents. 2 Therefore, the synthesis of quinolines has attracted much attention in organic synthesis. The classic methods for the synthesis of ...
