Conventional and microwave-assisted synthesis of quinolone carboxylic acid derivatives

Abstract

Various antibacterial fluoroquinolone compounds are synthesized by the direct amination of 7-halo-6-fluoroquinolone-3-carboxylic acids with a variety of piperazine derivatives and (4aR,7aR)-octahydro-1H-pyrrolo[3,4-b]pyridine using microwave under different reaction conditions. Solvent free high yield microwave synthesis of antibacterial fluoroquinolone compounds is convenient, rapid and environmentally friendly method.
