As one of the most widely investigated compound skeleton, quinolines possess important medicinal and biological activities. As such, ag reat number of literatures, including reviews, have reported various methodologies to construct quinolines. Recently,o rganocatalyzed reactions have attracted the attention of organic chemists due to its being "green" because the reactions avoid the use of toxic metals.I nt his review, various distinctive contributionsa re surveyed with specific emphasis on organocatalyzed reactions for quinoline core constructions.
