Applications & Uses

Uses

Quinoline-2-carbonitrile is used to produce quinoline-2-carboxylic acid amide. It is an important raw material and intermediate used in organic synthesis, pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals and dyestuff.

General Description

Mechanism of the photoinduced substitution reaction of 2-quinolinecarbonitrile in alcohols or ethers has been reported. Photoinitiated dimerization of 2-quinolinecarbonitrile in HCl-acidified 2-propanol/water has been investigated at 77K and 331K. Benzophenone-sensitization of 2-quinolinecarbonitrile has been reported to yield triazapentaphene.
