A one‐pot quick and efficient multicomponent reaction has been developed for the synthesis of a new series of functionalized 8‐hydroxy‐4‐phenyl‐1,2‐dihydroquinoline derivatives using 30 mol% ammonium acetate in ethanol as solvent. This economical protocol run smoothly to give variety of quinoline derivatives in 55% to 98% yield from inexpensive reagents and catalyst in mild reaction conditions. Various spectroscopic techniques like FTIR, (1)H NMR and (13)C NMR, MALDI‐TOF‐MS, and EI‐MS were used to study and confirm their structure.
