Continuous niobium phosphate catalysed Skraup reaction for quinoline synthesis from solketal

Solketal is derived from the reaction of acetone with glycerol, a by-product product of the biodiesel industry. We report here the continuous reaction of solketal with anilines over a solid acid niobium phosphate (NbP), for the continuous generation of quinolines in the the well-established Skraup r...
