Synthesis of Some Unsaturated Quinoline Derivatives

Abstract

Dibenzyl acetone was prepared from the reaction of one mole acetone with two moles of benzaldehyde in the presence of sodium hydroxide as a base. A number of quinoline were prepared by refluxing the dibenzyl acetone with aniline and its derivatives (o, m, and p-nitoaniline; m, and p-hydroxyaniline; p-chloroaniline and p-toluidine). The structures of the prepared compounds were assigned according to elemental analyses results as well as UV-visible and IR spectra.
