A new, simple synthesis of 1,2-dihydroquinolines via cyclocondensation using zeolite catalyst
A new, environmentally-friendly synthesis of dihydroquinolines from aniline and ketones using a small pore size zeolite as catalyst is described. This method is simple, cheap and gives the dihydroquinolines in high yield.
