General procedure for the synthesis of 3-hydroxyquinoline from quinoline-3-boronic acid: to a round-bottomed flask were added quinoline-3-boronic acid (1.0 mmol), CuSO4-5H2O (0.02 g, 0.1 mmol), CNT-Chit film (10.0 mg), KOH (0.17 g, 3.0 mmol) and deionized water (5.00 mL). The reaction mixture was stirred openly at room temperature for 24 hours. After completion of the reaction, the mixture was filtered and the solids were washed with deionized water. The filtrate was acidified to pH 2-3 with dilute aqueous hydrochloric acid and subsequently extracted with ether (3 x 10 mL). The organic phases were combined and concentrated under reduced pressure to remove the solvent. The crude product was purified by silica gel column chromatography with an eluent ratio of 70% hexane/30% ethyl acetate (v/v) to afford 3-hydroxyquinoline (0.1433 g, 93% yield) as an off-white solid.
