Doebner Names

Pfium, D. A. Doebner Quinoline Synthesis In Name Reactions in Heterocyclic Chemistry, Li, J. J. Corey, E. J., Eds. Wiley Sons Hoboken, NJ, 2005, 407—410. (Review). 

Condensation reactions of the aldol type play an important part in heterocyclic chemistry. There are a large number of condensation reactions that are closely related to the aldol condensation. Each of these reactions has its own name Claisen, Dieckmann, Doebner, Knoevenagel, Perkin, to mention a few, but the chemistry is essentially the same as that of the aldol condensation. 

Unsaluraled aldehydes or ketones also condense with the amines in an acidic [2569, 2364, 3012] or basic [2361] medium some of these reactions are known by the names of their discoverers, for example, the Doebner-Miller synthesis [2364) or the Doebner quinoline synthesis [3214]. The latter needs neither acid nor base.
