The addition of a-ketohydrazones to 2-acetamidobenzaldehyde proceeds efficiently in the presence of N-benzylpiperazine to afford in good to high yields the expected Mannich adducts; these are easily converted to quinoline derivatives under acidic conditions in a new Azo-Friedländer reaction.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
