A Facile One-Pot Microwave-Induced Synthesis of Some Novel Selenolo[2,3-b]quinoline Derivatives under Solvent-Free Conditions

Abstract

A rapid, solvent free microwave assisted synthetic strategy has been developed for the synthesis of some selenolo[2,3-b]quinoline derivatives using potassium carbonate by the reaction between 2-seleno-3-formyl-quinolines (2a–d) with 2-chloroacetamide and phenacylbromide. This method found to be very effective, products obtained in high yield, isolation is just treating the reaction mixture with water.
