DABCO catalyzed a convenient synthesis of 1-[5-(8hydroxyquinolin-5-yl)-1-alkyl (aryl)-2-methyl-1Hpyrrol-3-yl]ethanone in aqueous medium. Shawkat A. abdel-Mohsen Chemistry Department, Faculty of Science, Assiut University, Assiut, 71516, Egypt. E-mail: Shawk662001@yahoo.com. A green and simple method to synthesis of 1-[5-(8-hydroxyquinolin-5-yl)-1-alkyl (aryl)-2methyl-1H-pyrrol-3-yl]ethanone (4) via the reaction of 5-chloroacetyl-8-hydroxyquinoline (1) pentane-2,4-dione (2) and amines (3) in the presence of a catalytic amount of DABCO 1-4 at 70 oC. The procedure is amenable for the synthesis of new substituted pyrroles. Moreover, short reaction time environmentally friendly procedure and excellent yields are the main advantages of this procedure which makes it more economic than other environmental methods.
