Traditional strategies for the preparation of quinolines typically rely on toxic reagents, dangerous by-products, and energy-demanding processes that represent substantial environmental and economic loss. Toward sustainable and efficient alternatives, green synthesis methods are developed that use environmentally friendly solvents, catalysts, and energy-saving techniques (microwave-assisted synthesis, solvent-free reactions, green solvents, biocatalysis, photocatalysis, nanocatalysis, ultrasonication, and catalyst-free synthesis). This review provides a broad overview of recent advancements in the green synthesis of quinoline derivatives, highlighting their potential to revolutionize conventional practices and contribute to sustainable development goals. The synthesis of quinoline derivatives has been covered in a number of reports, but most of them focus on either conventional or green methods independently. We present both approaches in a single, comparative framework in this review.
