The paradigm shifts from conventional synthetic protocols to advanced green methodologies has revolutionized the synthesis of quinoline derivatives. Strategies that adhere to sustainable chemistry principles by minimizing waste, solvent consumption, and energy input. Various green catalysts, including <em>p</em>-toluenesulfonic acid (<em>p</em>-TSA), <em>para</em>-sulfonic acid calix[4]arene (CX4SO<sub>3</sub>H), cerium nitrate, ammonium acetate, potassium carbonate (K<sub>2</sub>CO<sub>3</sub>), and catalyst-free techniques, have proven effective in synthesizing quinoline analogs. The use of greener solvents such as ethanol and water further supports the eco-friendly synthesis of these compounds. The review also highlights a broad spectrum of pharmacological activities of quinoline derivatives, including antibacterial, antiviral, antidiabetic, anticancer properties and so on. SAR studies show that adding EDGs (-CH<sub>3</sub>, –OCH<sub>3</sub>, –OH) and EWGs (-Cl, –F, –NO<sub>2</sub>, –CF<sub>3</sub>) can enhance electronic properties, lipophilicity, and receptor-binding affinities. Moreover, hybridization with heterocyclic scaffolds such as furan, pyrazole, indole, and thiadiazole significantly improves bioactivity, demonstrating the intricate relationship between structural modifications and biological efficacy. By merging sustainable chemistry with targeted pharmacological strategies, quinoline-based compounds emerge as innovative candidates for diverse clinical applications.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":101215,"journal":{"name":"Tetrahedron Green Chem","volume":"5 ","pages":"Article 100062"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143135611","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the first step, an ultrasound-assisted sol-gel method followed by spray drying was adopted to synthesize powder photocatalysts. Next, the powder samples were immobilized onto a floating polyurethane foam (PUF) support with an ultrasound-assisted impregnation method. The photocatalytic activity of TiO<sub>2</sub> and Ag/TiO<sub>2</sub> was evaluated to remove methyl orange (MO) as a dye pollutant in two suspended and floating photocatalytic systems. Ag decoration on TiO<sub>2</sub> improved the optical and textural properties by narrowing the bandgap energy to 2.9 eV and increasing the surface area from 10 m<sup>2</sup>/g to 30 m<sup>2</sup>/g. Ag/TiO<sub>2</sub> exhibited higher photocatalytic activity compared to TiO<sub>2</sub> for MO removal, which was 98 % for suspended and 95 % for floating catalysts under simulated sunlight irradiation. In addition, floating photocatalysts exhibited higher photocatalytic activity over five cycles of reuse. Floating Ag/TiO<sub>2</sub>@PUF maintained 89 % of its initial photoactivity, while suspended Ag/TiO<sub>2</sub> lost 50 % after the five cycles. Moreover, we investigated the effect of operating conditions on the photocatalytic performance of floating Ag/TiO<sub>2</sub>@PUF. Optimal conditions for the complete removal of MO below detection limits were obtained as follows: Ag/TiO<sub>2</sub>@PUF loading = 0.4:200 g/mL, initial MO concentration = 5 mg/L, time = 90 min, and pH = 4 under simulated sunlight irradiation.
