Quinaldine or 2-methylquinoline is an organic compound with the formula CH3C9H6N. It is one of the methyl derivative of a heterocyclic compound quinoline. It is bioactive and is used in the preparation of various dyes. It is a colorless oil but commercial samples can be colored.[1]
Production
It is recovered from coal tar. It can be prepared from aniline and paraldehyde via Skraup synthesis or from aniline and crotonaldehyde via Doebner-von Miller variation of the Skraup reaction.[1]
Uses
Quinaldine is used in anti-malaria drugs, in manufacturing dyes, food colorants (e.g., Quinoline Yellows, pinacyanol), pharmaceuticals. It is the precursor to the pH indicator Quinaldine Red.
