The Camps-quinoline synthesis is an organic reaction, converting an o-acylaminoacetophenone with a hydroxide into a mixture of two hydroxyquinolines (A and B).
The relative amount of each isomer depends on the reaction conditions and the specific structure of the starting material. Although the structure is usually represented in the enol form (due to the presence of aromaticity in the second ring), it is assumed that the keto form is dominant in both solid state and liquid form. Consequently, the structure must be referred to as a quinolone. Also see
