Environmentally Friendly Nafion-Catalyzed Synthesis of Substituted 2-Ethyl-3-Methylquinolines from Aniline and Propionaldehyde under Microwave Irradiation

Herein, we report a facile synthetic methodology for the preparation of 2,3-dialkylquinolines from anilines and propionaldehydes. This cyclization involved environmentally friendly Nafion<sup>®</sup> NR50 as an acidic catalyst with microwave irradiation as the heating source. A series of...
