A systematic study on the condensation reaction of 2,4-dichlorobenzo[h]quinoline and naphth-1-ylamine in the presence of CuI as catalyst to functionalised mono- and di-substituted (naphthalen-1-yl)benzo[h]quinoline amines was described. Subsequently these mono- and di-substituted amines on polyphosphoric acid catalysed cyclisation reaction with aromatic/heteroaromatic carboxylic acids led to th...

The title Schiff base compound, C(32)H(22)N(4)O, was prepared by a reaction of 4,4'-diamino-diphenyl ether and 2-quinoline-carboxaldehyde. The mol-ecule consists of two 4-{N-[(E)-quinolin-2-yl-methyl-idene]amino}-phenyl units linked by an oxygen bridge. The dihedral angles between two benzene rings and between the two quinoline ring systems are 53.81 (7) and 42.56 (4)°, respectively. Inter-mole...

Two alkaloids, megistoquinone I (1) and megistoquinone II (2), were isolated from the bark of Sarcomelicope megistophylla. Their structures have been elucidated on the basis of MS and NMR data. Both belong to quinoline alkaloid series and should be considered as oxidation products of a furo[2,3-b]quinoline precursor. The two alkaloids showed antibacterial properties with minimum inhibitory conc...

In the mol-ecule of the title compound, C(21)H(20)ClN, the quinoline group is nearly planar and is oriented at a dihedral angle of 77.21 (3)° with respect to the phenyl ring. The conformation of the cyclooctane ring is twist-boat. In the crystal structure, there are some weak π-π inter-actions [centroid-to-centroid distances of 3.7414 (11) and 3.8633 (12) Å] between the rings of the quinoline g...

The crystal structure of the 1:2 dihydrate compound of chloranilic acid (systematic name: 2,5-di-chloro-3,6-dihy-droxy-1,4-benzo-quinone) with 2-carb-oxy-pyridine (another common name: picolinic acid; systematic name: pyridine-2-carb-oxy-lic acid), namely, 2C6H5.5NO20.5+·C6HCl2O4-·2H2O, (I), has been determined at 180 K, and the structure of the 1:2 dihydrate compound of chloranilic acid with 2...

We move from benzo-fused pyrroles to benzo-fused pyridines and meet quinoline and isoquinoline. Isoquinolines will feature as benzylisoquinoline alkaloids in Chapter 51 and their synthesis will mostly be discussed there. In this section we shall concentrate on the quinolines. Quinoline forms part of the structure of quinine, the malaria remedy found in cinchona bark and known since the time of ...
