“…Quinolines act as effective ligands in cross-coupling reactions and they also play a crucial role in asymmetric synthesis as a catalyst. , In addition, they are also used as ligands for preparation of OLED complexes and with conjugated polymers acting as chemosensors of metal ions. , Due to their potential biological activity and tremendous applications, chemists have developed various classical methods for the synthesis of quinolines such as the Combes reaction, Skraup reaction, Doebner–von Miller, Conrad–Limpach, and Knorr synthesis which involve the formation of a new C – C bond as shown in (Figure , 1a), whereas, in Pfitzinger and Friedlander reactions, new C – C and C – N bonds were formed as shown in (Figure , 1b). In a traditional approach, there are new strategies that have emerged for the synthesis of quinolines through intramolecular cyclization that involve formation of a new C – N bond (Figure , 1c), N – C bond (Figure , 1d), and new C – C bond through cross-dehydrogenative coupling, − dual oxidative coupling, and oxidative tandem reactions .…”
