A preparative method is proposed and the synthesis of 4-arylamino-2-oxo-1,2-dihydroquinolines has
been effected. An X-ray structural investigation of 4-(4-chlorophenylamino)-2-oxo-1-propyl-1,2-
dihydroquinoline-3-carboxylic acid has been carried out enabling the ease of decarboxylating such
compounds to be substantiated. Results are given of a study of the anti-inflammatory activity of the
synthesized compounds.
