• ciprofloxacin (Figure 1c). In recent years, the synthesis of quinolines has received great attention and remarkable achievements have been made to produce quinolones by various methods: Skraup reaction [12], Doebner–Miller reaction [13], Combes synthesis method [14], Conrad–Limpach reaction [15], Pfitzinger

• and for their quorum sensing activity. Results and Discussion Synthesis of methylated heptyl-AQs The synthesis of methylated AQ derivatives started from HHQ (1), which is conveniently available via Conrad–Limpach reaction in large quantities [20][21]. Upon treatment of HHQ (1) with n-butyllithium and

The synthesis of 2-(trifluoromethyl)-6-phenylquinolone was achieved by Conrad–Limpach reaction of a primary aromatic amine with a β-ketoester [37][38]. Namely, thermal condensation of 4

We describe herein the first synthesis of aurachin D through a key Conrad–Limpach reaction. The same strategy was used to reach
