Abstract

Synthesis of various C-3-dialkyl derivatives of quinoline 2,4-diol was achieved by condensation of aniline or substituted anilines with diethyl malonate, followed by chemoselective alkylation at C-3 in water. The higher yields, easy work up and environmental compatible conditions are the main aspects of our method.
