Phosphotungstic acid: an efficient, cost-effective and recyclable catalyst for the synthesis of polysubstituted quinolines

Molecules. 2009 Mar 12;14(3):1126-44. doi: 10.3390/molecules14031126.

Abstract

Phosphotungstic acid (H(3)PW(12)O(40)) was used as an efficient and recyclable catalyst for the synthesis of polysubstituted quinolines through the Friedländer condensation of 2-aminoarylketone with carbonyl compounds, which was achieved by conventional heating under solvent-free conditions.
