Abstract

The syntheses of a diverse set of 2-aryl-4-quinolone derivatives were achieved by exposing corresponding acylated 2′-aminoacetophenones to microwave irradiation in the presence of NaOH. The microwave accelerated cyclizations were complete within 10–22min at 120° C giving 57–95% isolated yields.
