Indian Journal of Chemistry. 55B: 517-521.0975-0983(Online)0376-4699(Print)http://hdl.handle.net/10321/3007Synthesis of bisquinolines from methyl anthranilate and ethyl acetoacetate is described. This synthesis has been accomplished in three steps. Vilsmeier-Haack reaction is used as a key tool to assemble bisquinoline. Microwave heating during each step of the reaction gives high yield of products in short reaction times.5 penBisquinolinesClaisen condensationVilsmeier-Haack reactionSchiff baseVilsmeier-Haack reaction : a manifest protocol to synthesise bisquinolineArticlehttps://doi.org/10.1002/chin.201640169
