Novel piperazine and morpholine substituted quinolines: Selective synthesis through activation of 3,6,8-tribromoquinoline, characterization and their some metabolic enzymes inhibition potentials

Regioselective routes are described for convenient preparation of novel piperazine/morpholine substituted quinoline derivatives at C-3, C-6 and C-8 starting with 3,6,8-tribromoquinoline (6) by nucleophilic substitution via conventional heating or microwave assisted reaction conditions. 3,6,8-Tribromoquinoline (6) was treated with piperazine and morpholine under microvawe irradiation, which selectively furnished 3-mopholinyl and 3-piperazinyl...
