Table 1 shows catalytic performances of various catalysts for microwave-assisted synthesis of quinoline from ADA and aniline. When various parent zeolites are used as catalysts respectively, the yield of quinoline is extremely low with low conversion of ADA. The completion of this reaction is considered to undergo two steps, containing decomposition of ADA to acrolein and/or other intermediate and subsequent condensation with aniline to quinoline, as shown in Eqs. (1). CH2=CH−CHOEt2→MW/Cat.CH2=CH
