Abstract
Quinolines, an important class of potentially bioactive compounds, have been synthesized by treatment of O-aminoarylketones and carbonyl compounds utilizing niobium-(V) chloride /polyethylenglycole(NbCl5.PEG) and niobium(V) chloride (NbCl5) as available and inexpensive catalysts. The quinoline derivatives were prepared in glycerol, as an excellent solvent in terms of environmental impact, with high yields (76-98%) and short reaction times (15-90 min).
