Efficient one-pot synthesis of polyhydroquinoline derivatives using Cs2.5H0.5PW12O40 as a heterogeneous and reusable catalyst in molten salt media

Polyhydroquinoline derivatives have been prepared efficiently in a one-pot synthesis via Hantzsch condensation using Cs2.5H0.5PW12O40 as a heterogeneous and reusable catalyst. The present method uses molten salt media instead of hazardous organic solvents. The present methodology offers several advantages such as simple procedure, excellent yields, and a short reaction time. (c) 2010 King Saud University. Production and hosting by Elsevier B.V.
