Montmorillonite K10 Clay: An Effective Solid Catalyst for One‐Pot Synthesis of Polyhydroquinoline Derivatives

Abstract

An efficient one‐pot four‐component coupling process for the synthesis of polyhydroquinoline derivatives catalyzed by montmorillonite K10 clay is described. This procedure has such advantages as short reaction time, high yields, and simple workup. The catalyst could be reused several times and keeps its initial activity in the recycle reactions.
