Quinoline is a heterocyclic aromatic organic
compound. It has the formula C9H7N and is a colourless
to brown hygroscopic liquid with a strong odour. Aged
samples, if exposed to light, become yellow and later
brown. Quinoline is only slightly soluble in cold water
but dissolves readily in hot water and most organic
solvents.
Quinoline family compounds are widely used as
a parent compound to make drugs (especially
anti-malarial medicines), fungicides, biocides,
alkaloids, dyes, rubber chemicals and flavoring agents.
They have antiseptic, antipyretic, and antiperiodic
properties. They are also used as catalyst, corrosion
inhibitor, preservative, and as solvent for resins and
terpenes. They are used in transition-metal complex
catalyst chemistry for uniform polymerization and
luminescence chemistry. They are used as antifoaming
agent in refinery field. Quinaldine, 2-methylquinoline,
is used as an anti-malaria and preparing other
anti-malaria drugs. It is used in manufacturing oil
soluble dyes, food colorants, pharmaceuticals, pH
indicators and other organic compounds. Quinaldic Acid
is a carboxylic acid substituted quinoline at 2
position, a catabolite of tryptophan (aromatic side
chain amino acid). Its principal use is as a precursor
to 8-hydroxyquinoline, which is a versatile chelating
agent and precursor to pesticides. Its 2- and 4-methyl
derivatives are precursors to cyanine dyes.
