Abstract
A series of new biquinoline compounds 4a-t have been synthesized by reaction of [(2-chloro-3-quinolyl) methylene]methane-1,1-dicarbonitrile 2a-d and 3-arylamino-5,5-dimethyl-cyclohex-2-en-1-one 3a-e under microwave irradiation catalyzed by 4-(N,N-dimethylamino) pyridine (DMAP). This newer method produces pure product in high yield rapidly. The synthesized compounds 4a-t have been characterized by elemental analysis, IR, NMR and screened for their antifungal and antibacterial activity.
