Synthesis of 2‐Phenylquinoline and its Derivatives by Multicomponent Reaction of Aniline, Benzylamine, Alcohols, and CCl4 Catalyzed by FeCl3·6H2O

2‐Phenylquinolines, 2‐phenyl‐3‐methyl‐quinolines, and 2‐phenyl‐3‐ethylquinolines were synthesized in high yields (78–90%) by the reaction of aniline, benzylamine, aliphatic alcohols (ethanol, n ‐propanol, n ‐butanol), and CCl 4 catalyzed by FeCl 3 ·6H 2 O in tetrachloromethane.
