Abstract
A convenient eco-friendly procedure has been developed for the synthesis of novel quinoline derivatives by a simple one-pot reaction of substituted anilines with β-ketoesters under microwave irradiation without any solvent. A comparative study of reaction on solid support versus neat reaction is done. Neat reaction technology gives better yield in shorter reaction times and also cuts down the usage of solvent.
