Herein, we disclose the development of a catalyst- and protecting-group-free microwave-enhanced Friedländer synthesis which permits the single-step, convergent assembly of diverse 8-hydroxyquinolines with greatly improved reaction yields over traditional oil bath heating (increased from 34% to 72%). This rapid synthesis permitted the discovery of novel biofilm-eradicating halogenated quinolines (MBECs = 1.0-23.5 μM) active against MRSA, MRSE, and VRE. These small molecules exhibit activity through mechanisms independent of membrane lysis, further demonstrating their potential as a clinically useful treatment option against persistent biofilm-associated infections.
