Abstract

An eco-friendly and efficient procedure for synthesis of 2-methylquinoline derivatives from nitroarenes has been developed by a simple one-pot reaction on the surface of platinum- loaded TiO 2 with neat ethanol under UV irradiation without any harsh reagent according to green chemistry. TiO 2 catalysts with various amounts of Pt loadings were prepared by photodeposition using chloroplatinic acid solution and characterized by XRD, BET, AFM, ...
