Quinolone motifs are widespread in various biologically active natural and pharmaceutical compounds. Previously, a reagent-free synthesis of flavones from o-alkynoylphenols has been developed with DMSO promotion. In this regard, o-alkynoyl aniline was tested, and both 5-exo and 6-endo cyclized rings were observed. The conditions were slightly modified, and quinolones were successfully achieved via 6-endo cyclization. The developed method tolerates various functional groups and yields the corresponding quinolones. A reagent- free, operationally simple, highly atom-economic, environmentally benign, and mild- conditioned method has been developed for synthesizing quinolones. This method will be useful for the synthesis of biologically active compounds, including 4-quimolone motif structure. * A thesis for the degree of Master of science in Pharmacy in February 2024
