A one pot microwave assisted synthesis of 3-acyl-2,4-dihydroxyquinoline followed by synthesis of 7-methyldibenzo[c,f][2,7]naphthyridin-6(5H)-ones via three routes. Indian Journal of Chemistry -Section B, 52B(6): 776-786.http://hdl.handle.net/10321/930An easy one pot microwave assisted synthesis of 3-acyl-2,4-dihydroxyquinoline from simple precursors followed by convenient synthesis of novel and potential HIV integrase inhibitors 7-methyldibenzo[c,f][2,7]naphthyridin-6(5H)-ones has been achieved through three different routes. Mild reaction conditions and good yields are obtained by applying microwave and photochemical techniques.11 penEco-friendlyPhotochemical cyclization3-acyl-24-dihydroxyquinolineMicrowave heatingNaphthyridinesArticle
