Iron/acetic acid-mediated carbon degradation: a facile route for the synthesis of quinoline derivatives

A new carbon degradation protocol which results in the formation of quinoline derivatives is described. The reactions involved the use of mild reaction conditions and an inexpensive reducing reagent (Fe/AcOH).
