“…A quinoline scaffold is a versatile synthetic building block in various natural products [1][2][3][4][5], exceptional pharmaceuticals [6][7][8], physical materials [9][10][11][12][13], and is an important intermediate for asymmetric synthesis [14][15][16][17][18]. Functionalized quinolines are broadly used in agrochemicals [19,20], dyes [21,22], and some biologically active molecules for antimalarial [23][24][25], anticancer [26][27][28][29][30], antiviral [31], antifungal [32], anti-bacterial [33], and anti-inflammatory functions [34,35]. In particular, since the 17th century, the quinoline alkaloid quinine has been viewed historically as the first cure for treating or preventing malaria, [36,37].…”
