The last two decades of the 19th century proved to be an important era for the development of quinoline chemistry. It was during this time period that various methods for synthesizing quinolines, such as the Friedlander quinoline synthesis, Pfitzinger quinoline synthesis, Doebner-Miller quinoline synthesis, Conrad-Limpach quinoline synthesis, Combes quinoline synthesis, and Camps quinoline synthesis were first reported. In 1882, Friedlander showed that the condensation of 2-aminobenzaldehyde (4) with acetaldehyde (5) provided quinoline (6). ...

Syntheses of the antibiotic compounds deoxynybomycin (100) and nybomycin (102) as well as related heterocyclic compounds have been described (Scheme 7). The 8-hydroxy-2-quinolone (97), readily prepared from o-anisidine in three steps, was converted into the fused oxazoline-quinoline derivative (98) by successive nitration, reaction with dibromomethane, and hydrogenation. Adaptation of the Doebner-von Miller quinoline synthesis to (98) provided the tetracyclic product (99), which upon methylation and oxidation gave deoxynybomycin (100) in 0.83% overall yield from o-anisidine. The key intermediate...

This reaction was initially reported by Doebner and von Miller in 1881 as a modification of the original Skraup Reaction, and it was subsequently modified by Beyer in 1886 It is an acidic condensation between primary aromatic amines (e.g., anilines) and Q ,j8-unsaturated carbonyl compounds (mostly o ,y3-unsaturated aldehydes) to give 2,3-disubstituted quinolines. Therefore, this reaction is generally known as the Doebner-Miller reaction, or Doebner-Miller synthesis." In addition, this reaction is also referred to as the Doebner-von Miller quinoline synthesis, Skraup-Doebner-von Miller reaction, Skraup-Doebner-von Miller quinoline synthesis, Doebner-Miller condensation, and Doebner-Miller Quinaldine Synthesis. For comparison, the modification from Beyer, known as the Beyer method for quinoline, is an acidic condensation between anilines and Q ,j8-unsaturated carbonyl compounds generated in situ from aldehyde or aldehyde and methyl ketone to afford 2,4-disubstituted quinolines." The optimal condition of this reaction is to heat the mixture of aniline/aldehyde (1 2) at 100°C for 6 h with hydrochloric acid and zinc chloride in addition, an oxidizing reagent is also needed in this reaction, such as nitrobenzene. However, it has been reported that A -alkylanilines are also formed in this reaction. The nature and... 

This reaction is related to the Doebner-von Miller Quinoline Synthesis and Knorr Quinoline Synthesis.

Evidence has been produced " which suggests that cycloprop[f>]indoles and other products from the photolysis of ethyl 2-cyano-l,2-dihydroquinoline-l-carboxylates, e.g. (110), arise not, as was assumed previously, via an aza-hexatriene intermediate but via the excited singlet state of (110) or a dipolar species of form (111). In contrast, the long-assumed (but recently doubted) intermediacy of 1,2-dihydroquinolines in the Doebner-von Miller quinoline synthesis has been confirmed. The isolable dihydroquinolines are produced in high yield on allowing the arylamine and acetaldehyde to stand at room temperature for 24 hours. 

Quinoline derivatives may be synthesised by heating aii aromatic amine with an aldehyde or a mixture of aldehydes in the presence of concentrated hydrochloric or sulphuric acid this synthesis is known as the Doebner - Miller reaction. Thus aniline and paraldehyde afford 2-methylquinohne or quinaldine. 

This is an example of the Doebner synthesis of quinoline-4-carboxylic acids (cinchoninic acids) the reaction consists in the condensation of an aromatic amine with pyruvic acid and an aldehj de. The mechanism is probably similar to that given for the Doebner-Miller sj nthesis of quinaldiiie (Section V,2), involving the intermediate formation of a dihydroquinoline derivative, which is subsequently dehydrogenated by the Schiff s base derived from the aromatic amine and aldehyde. 

The Knorr quinoline synthesis refers to the formation of a-hydroxyquinolines 4 from P-ketoesters 2 and aryl amines 1. The reaction usually requires heating well above 100°C. However, some cases do exist when the cyclization takes place in the presence of a catalytic amount of mineral acid at temperatures as low as -10 °C. The intermediate anilide 3 undergoes cyclization by dehydration with concentrated sulfuric acid. The reaction is conceptually close to the Doebner-Miller and Gould-Jacobs reactions. ... 

A number of dihydroquinolines have been prepared by treating aniline derivatives with acetone or mesityl oxide in the presence of iodine. In these cases aromatization to the fully unsaturated quinoline would require the loss of methane, a process known as the Riehm quinoline synthesis. Such Skraup/Doebner-von Miller-type reactions are often low yielding due to large amounts of competing polymerization. For example, aniline 37 reacts with mesityl oxide to give dihydroquinolines 39, albeit in low yield. ... 

Doebner-von Miller reaction is a variant of the Skraup quinoline synthesis (page 545). Therefore, the mechanism for the Skraup reaction is also operative for the Doebner-von Miller reaction. An alternative mechanism shown below is based on the fact that the preformed imine (Schiff base) also gives 2-methylquinoline ... 

In the original Doebner-von Miller synthesis of quinolines an arylamine condenses with two molecules of an aldehyde most of the variants have been dealt with in Section 2.08.2.2.3.ii since the intermediate (often used directly) is an a,-unsaturated aldehyde. Two further major variations, the Beyer modification and the Doebner cinchoninic acid synthesis, will be dealt with here, since intermediates are rarely isolated. 

The synthesis of 1,8-naphthyridines using adaptations of quinoline syntheses (Knorr, Conrad-Limpach, Combs, Chichibabin, Doebner, and Doebner-Miller) has been discussed by Hauser and Weiss104 and the reader is referred to this work for details.
