- anilines with styrene oxide via C–C cleavage is the efficient synthetic route to quinolones [1]. The reaction was performed using FeCl3 as catalyst in 1,4-dioxane as solvent at 110 °C for 12 h. According to the significance of this progress, we have decided to re-optimize it. The mixture of Al2O3 and
- optimized conditions for the synthesis of quinolines, the reaction of 3,4-dimethylaniline (1, 1.0 mmol) and styrene oxide (2, 2.0 mmol) in an open atmosphere was chosen as a model reaction (Table 1). Control experiments showed that in the absence of Al2O3 and MeSO3H, no quinoline 3a was observed (Table 1
