Neste trabalho, 3-haloacetil-4-metilquinolinas foram sintetizadas a partir da reação de 4-alcóxi-3-alquen-2-onas [R In this work, 3-haloacetyl-4-methylquinolines were synthesized from the reaction of 4-alkoxy-3-alken-2-ones [R 1 C(O)CH=C(R 2 )OCH 3 , where R 1 = CF 3 , CCl 3 , CHCl 2 , CF 2 Cl, CF 2 CF 3 and R 2 = Me, Et, Pr, Bu, i-Bu and i-Pe] and 2-aminoacetophenone. The reaction was performed in ionic liquid and 4-toluene sulfonic acid under microwave irradiation. Results showed that the catalytic method was effective. Products were formed in a short time (10-20 min) and presented good yields (70-91%).
