The Uses of 7-Methylquinoline

7-methylquinoline has been bioassayed as tumor initiator on the skin of Sencar mice.

General Description

7-Methylquinoline is a reagent used in the preparation of diarylmethylpiperazines as potent opioid receptor agonists with improved side effects. Also used in the preparation of novel pyrazine compounds derived from 2-phenylquinolin-7-yl which act as potent insulin-like growth factor-I receptor inhibitors.

Air & Water Reactions

Insoluble in water.

Reactivity Profile

7-Methylquinoline may be sensitive to exposure to light. May react vigorously with strong oxidizing agents and strong acids . Neutralizes acids in exothermic reactions to form salts plus water. May be incompatible with isocyanates, halogenated organics, peroxides, phenols (acidic), epoxides, anhydrides, and acid halides. Flammable gaseous hydrogen may be generated in combination with strong reducing agents, such as hydrides.

Fire Hazard

7-Methylquinoline is combustible.

Purification Methods

Purify it via its dichromate complex (m 149o, after five recrystallisations from water). [Cumper et al. J Chem Soc 1176 1962, Beilstein 20 III/IV 3497, 20/7 V 402.]
