GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF QUINOLINE & APPLICATIONS
Quinoline, hygroscopic, yellowish oily liquid, is an aromatic nitrogen compound characterized by a double-ring structure contains a benzene and a pyridine. (Pyridine is a ring structure compound of five carbon atoms with a nitrogen atom). These two rings are fused at two adjacent carbon atoms. Quinoline itself is the simplest member of the quinoline. It can be prepared by the distillation of coal tar or by synthesis from aniline. It is soluble in water as well as in alcohol, ether, and carbon disulfide. Isoquinoline differs from quinoline in nitrogen position. 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. Aminoquinolines are a group of amebicidal and anti-malarial compounds including amodiaquine, chloroquine, and hydrochloroquine (amino group at 4- position) and primaquine (at 8- position). They are 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.

Oxyquinoline, Hydroxyquinoline at 8- position, is used as a bacteriostatic and fungistatic agent. It is used in preparing antiseptics, deodorants, antiperspirants, and fungicides. The sulfate salt of 8-hydroxyquinoline is used as a complexing agent for pharmaceuticals.
