Application of Modern Green Chemistry Methods in the Synthesis of Quinolines, Quinazolines and Quinazolinones

In the last few decades, there is a constant demand for novel bioactive

compounds in all areas of pharmacy and medicine, thus increasing the demands for

their design and synthesis. Quinolines, quinazolines and quinazolinones, highly

bioactive heterocyclic compounds with a nitrogen core, have been employed in many

important drugs nowadays. Their synthesis often includes an enormous amounts of

different hazardous organic solvents, catalysts, as well as energy consumption. In the

last two decades, there is a growing interest in the application of different green

chemistry methods in different research areas, including synthesis. This chapter

describes their application in the synthesis of the above mentioned compounds.

Microwave-assisted, ultrasound-assisted, mechanochemical synthesis in the

combination with solvent-free synthesis and synthesis in deep eutectic solvents (DESs)

and ionic liquids (ILs) of quinolines, quinazolines and quinazolinones is described. All

mentioned green chemistry methods are gaining promising environmental and

economic benefits and are being a subject of many research these days.

Keywords: Deep eutectic solvents, Mechanochemical synthesis, Microwaveassisted synthesis, Quinazoline, Quinazolinone, Quinoline, Solvent-free synthesis, Ultrasound-assisted synthesis.
