Abstract

Reduction of o-nitroarylcarbaldehydes o-aminoarylcarbaldehydes with iron in the presence of a catalytic amount of aqueous hydrochloric acid followed by in situ condensation of the resulting amines with ketones or aldehydes (Friedlaender quinoline synthesis) gives mono- or disubstituted quinolines, respectively, in very good yields.
