Chemical compound

Quinaldineor2-methylquinoline is an organic compound with the formula CH₃C₉H₆N. It is one of the methyl derivatives of the heterocyclic compound quinoline. It is bioactive and is used in the preparation of various dyes. It is a colorless oil but commercial samples can appear colored.^[1]

Quinaldine 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]

Hydrogenation of quinaldine gives 2-methyltetrahydroquinoline. This reduction can be conducted enantioselectively.^[2]

Quinaldine has critical point at 787 K and 4.9 MPa and its refractive index is 1.8116.^{[citation needed]}

Quinaldine is used in manufacturing anti-malaria drugs, dyes and food colorants (e.g., Quinoline Yellows, pinacyanol). It is the precursor to the pH indicator Quinaldine Red.

Quinaldine sulfate is an anaesthetic used in fish transportation.^[3] In some Caribbean islands it is used to facilitate the collection of tropical fish from reefs.
