“…[6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17] This wide range of biological properties has stimulated interest in the synthesis of quinolinone derivatives. [18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33] Recently, ZrOCl 2 ·8H 2 O has attracted much attention as catalysts in organic synthesis. Due to its easy availability, low costs, moisture stability, and low toxicity, ZrOCl 2 ·8H 2 O is effectively used as a green catalyst in organic reactions, such as synthesis of functionalized piperidine scaffolds, [34] synthesis of 5-amino-1-aryl-1H-tetrazoles, [35] synthesis of bis-β-amino ketones, [36] synthesis of homoallylic alcohols and amines, [37] synthesis of enaminones and enamino esters, [38] synthesis of N-substituted pyrroles, [39] synthesis of α-aminophosphonates, [40] synthesis of 2-substituted benzothiazoles, [41] synthesis of 3,4-dihydropyrimidin-2(1H)-ones, [42] synthesis of 1,8-dioxo-octahydroxanthene, [43] synthesis of imidazolines and bisimidazolines, [44] synthesis of 2-aryloxazolines and bisoxazolines, [45] synthesis of isobenzofuran-1(3H)-ones, [46] synthesis of β-acetamido ketones, …”
