Applications
Uses6-Methoxyquinoline is a useful sythetic intermediate
Uses6-Methoxyquinoline is used as a precursor in the synthesis of:Fluorescent zinc and chlorine sensors.5-Amino-2-aroylquinolines as potent tubulin polymerization inhibitors.3-Fluoro-6-methoxyquinoline derivatives as inhibitors of bacterial DNA gyrase and topoisomerase.Cobalt-based ternary metal-organic complex as singleion magnets.
Preparation methods
PreparationCurrently, the Skraup synthesis method is mostly used for the synthesis of 6-methoxyquinoline. The Skraup synthesis method involves reacting aromatic amines, glycerol or α,β-unsaturated aldehydes or ketones, sulfuric acid and nitrobenzene (corresponding to the aromatic amine used), arsenic pentoxide or ferric chloride and other oxidizing agents together to generate quinoline and its derivatives.
