Green Synthesis of Polysubstituted Quinolines and Xanthene Derivatives Promoted by Tartaric Acid as a Naturally Green Catalyst under Solvent-free Conditions

Abstract

This method reported the use of tartaric acid as a green and highly efficient catalyst for the convenient synthesis of polysubstituted quinolines and xanthenes derivatives in excellent yields under solvent-free conditions. The main advantages of this one-pot procedure are the green and economic availability of the catalyst, simple experimental and work-up procedures.
