Quinolines, an important class of potentially bioactive compounds, have been synthesized by treatment of o-aminoaryl ketonesand carbonyl compound utilizing niobium (V) chloride (NbCl
5) as an available and inexpensive catalyst. The quinoline derivatives
were prepared in glycerol, an excellent solvent in terms of environmental impact, with high yields (76–98%) and short reactiontimes (20–90min). Not only diketones but also ketones afforded the desired products in good to excellent yields. The reactiontime of 2-amino-5-chlorobenzophenone and dicarbonyl compounds was longer than that of 2-aminobenzophenone. The reactionof cyclic diketones took place faster than open chain analogues. These reactions also proceeded with acetophenone derivatives. Inthese cases the reaction times are longer.
1. Introduction
The synthesis of quinolines has been of considerable interestto chemists because their oxygen heterocyclesmay contributeto potential antimalarial, antibacterial, antiasthmatic, antihy-pertensive, anti-inflammatory, and antiplatelet properties [1–3]. For the synthesis of quinolines, variousmethods have beenreported including the Skraup [4], Conrad-Limpach-Knorr[5], Pfitzinger [6], Friedlander [7], and Combes [8]. However,the Friedlander condensation is still considered as a popularmethod for the synthesis of quinoline derivatives [9–14]. Inthismethod, 𝑜-amino benzophenone condenses with ketonesor 𝛽-diketones to yield quinolines.
Solvents are chemical substances used in huge amountsfor many different applications. One of the key areas ofGreen Chemistry is the elimination of solvents in chemicalprocesses or the replacement of hazardous solvents with envi-ronmentally benign solvents. Glycerol, which is a nontoxic,biodegradable liquid manufactured from renewable sources,shows similar properties as an ionic liquid and has a highpotential to serve as green solvent for organic syntheses. It hasa very high boiling point and negligible vapor pressure; it iscompatible with most organic and inorganic compounds anddoes not require special handling or storage. Glycerol permitsturning to the advantages of both water (low toxicity, low
price, large availability, and renewability) and ionic liquids(high boiling point, low vapour pressure) [15].
On the other hand, the oxophilicity of high valenceNb(V) has enabled it to act as the reagent/catalyst for severalLewis acid-mediated reactions such as the intramolecularoxidation-reduction process [16], the Diels-Alder reaction[17], allylation of aldehydes and imines [18, 19], and complexformations [20, 21].
Nevertheless the development of new synthetic methodsfor the efficient preparation of heterocycles containing quino-line fragment is therefore an interesting challenge.Therefore,in this report we describe synthesis of quinoline derivativesby treatment of 2-aminobenzophenonewith various carbonylcompounds usingNbCl
5as available catalysts in glycerol with
high yields.
2. Experimental

2.1. General Procedure for the Preparation ofQuinolineDeriva-tives. NbCl
5(0.1mmol) in glycerol (2mL) was added to a
mixture of carbonyl compounds (1.0mmol) and 2-amino-5-chlorobenzophenone or 2-aminobenzophenone (1.0mmol).Themixture was stirred at 110∘C for appropriate reaction time(Table 3).The progress of the reaction was monitored by thinlayer chromatography. After complete reaction, the mixturewas quenched by the addition of saturated aq NaHCO
3
solution and the reaction mixture was filtered and washedwith ethanol. The crude solid product was crystallized fromEtOH to afford the pure product and characterized by 1HNMR, IR, and MS spectroscopy analysis.
Due to the pharmacological properties of quinolines, devel-opment of synthetic methods, enabling easy access to thesecompounds, is desirable. Therefore, in this paper we reportsynthesis of quinoline derivatives in the presence of niobium(v) chloride as an inexpensive and available catalyst. Inorder to evaluate the catalytic efficiency of NbCl
5and to
determine the most appropriate reaction conditions, initiallya model study was carried out on the synthesis of quinoline3 (Scheme 1) by the condensation of 2-aminobenzophenone1 and 1,3-cyclohexadione 2 in different sets of reactionconditions.
In preliminary experiment, this reaction was carried outin various solvents, with NbCl
5(0.1mmol) as a catalyst. The

aReaction conditions: carbonyl compounds (1.0mmol), 2-amino-5-chlorobenzophenone or 2-amino benzophenone (1mmol), NbCl5 (0.1mmol), and glycerol(2mL); reactions conducted at 110∘C.bThe yield refers to pure isolated product.
reaction proceeded perfectly in polar solvents (Table 1, entries7–16), but the yields decreased when the reaction was carriedout in low-polar solvents (Table 1, entries 3–6). It was verysurprising that the reaction proceeded in excellent yields(98%) in glycerol medium (Table 1, entry 16). The reactioncould be carried out under solvent-free condition and gavelow yield (Table 1, entries 1, 2).
To obtain the optimized reaction conditions, we alsochanged temperature and the amount of catalyst. The resultsare summarized in Table 2. Consequently, among the testedtemperature and the amount of catalyst, the condensationof 2-aminobenzophenone and 1,3-cyclohexadione was bestcatalyzed by 0.1mmol of NbCl
5in glycerol at 110∘C. Control
experiments indicate that, in the absence of the catalyst, thereaction at the same condition gives quinoline in a rather lowyield of 33% (Table 2, entry 1).
To establish the generality and applicability of thismethod, 2-amino-5-chlorobenzophenone/2-aminobenzo-phenone and carbonyl compounds were subjected to thesame reaction condition to furnish the correspondingquinolines in good to excellent yields (Scheme 2, Table 3).
Not only diketones (Table 3, entries 1–11) but also ketones(Table 3, entries 12–17) afforded the desired products in goodto excellent yields (76–90%) in short reaction time (40–75min). It is delighted that the reaction time of 1,3-diphenylpropane-1,3-dione was longer than that of acetylacetone,which is probably due to low reactivity of carbonyl groups.Also, the reaction time of 2-amino-5-chlorobenzophenoneand dicarbonyl compounds was longer than that of 2-aminobenzophenone. The reaction of cyclic diketones tookplace faster than open chain analogues.
These reactions also proceeded with acetophenonederivatives (Table 3, entries 18–23). In these cases the reac-tion times are longer. It may be due to the less activityof acetophenone derivatives than dicarbonyl compounds.All the aforementioned reactions (Table 3) delivered goodproduct yields and accommodated a wide range of aromaticcarbonyl compound bearing both electron-donating andelectron-withdrawing substituents.The reactivity of differentaromatic carbonyl compounds was influenced by the natureand position of the substituents on the aromatic ring. Thearomatic carbonyl derivatives having an electron-donatingsubstituent were highly reactive and gave the products inexcellent yields (entries 19–21). When the aromatic carbonylcompounds containing electron-withdrawing group wereused, the reaction yield was decreased (entries 22, 23).
4. Conclusion
In conclusion, efficient synthesis of quinoline derivativeshas been achieved by a one-pot coupling reaction of car-bonyl compounds and 𝑜-aminobenzophenone using catalyticamounts of NbCl
5in glycerol. Simple reaction procedures,
inexpensive catalysts, and single product formation makethis an attractive protocol over the existing procedures. Thisprotocol offers flexibility in tuning the molecular complexityand diversity.
