Abstract
An efficient, ecofriendly aqueous synthesis of aromatic/aliphatic amines with coumarin-3-carboxylic acid in a one pot reaction in a sealed tube or InCl3/ H2O in open vessel to afford N-phenyl/alkyl-2-quinolinones is achieved. This method provides high yield of products in shorter time, making it a useful process for the synthesis of structurally diversified 2-quinolinones from corresponding coumarins.
