THE FIRST CERIUM (IV) AMMONIUM NITRATE (CAN)-CATALYZED FRIEDLÄNDER SYNTHESIS OF QUINOLINES IN IONIC LIQUID

A mild and efficient route for the synthesis of quinolines and polycyclic quinolines utilizing cerium (IV) ammonium nitrate (CAN) as a novel catalyst via Friedlander annulation in ionic liquid 1-n-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate [Bmim][PF 6 ] under mild conditions was described.
