addition/Sonogashira coupling has been developed. The reaction of 2-chloro-3-
formylquinolines (CFQs), 1 acetophenones (APs), 2 and terminal acetylenes, 3 by
employing triethylamine as a base, solvent as well as a ligand under mild conditions gave
highly functionalized 1, 5-diphenyl-3-(2-(2-phenylethynyl) quinolin-3-yl) pentane-1, 5-
diones, 4a-j, Additionally accomplished Heck arylation using CFQs in the presence of Pd …
