Synthesis of
quinolines
Friedlaender Synthesis

The starting materials for this quinoline synthesis are o-aminoaryl aldehydes or ketones and a ketone possessing an α-methylene group. After an initial amino-ketone condensation, the intermediate undergoes base- or acid-catalyzed cyclocondensation to produce a quinoline derivative.
