The synthesis method of 1-methyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoline is ancient and is described in detail below.
First, aromatic amines and allyl alcohol are used as starting materials. In a suitable reactor, an appropriate amount of aromatic amines and allyl alcohol are added, and then a specific catalyst is added. This catalyst, either a metal salt or a complex of organic ligands, can effectively promote the reaction. Heating raises the temperature in the kettle to a specific range, usually around 100 degrees Celsius, and the reaction takes several hours. During this period, the amino group of the aromatic amine undergoes an addition reaction with the double bond of allyl alcohol, and then goes through cyclization, reduction and other steps to obtain 1-methyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoline. The beauty of this method is that the raw materials are relatively common, but the reaction conditions need to be carefully controlled, otherwise the yield will not be good.
Second, phenethylamine derivatives and aldehyde are used as starting materials. Put phenethylamine derivatives and aldehyde in a certain proportion into the reaction system, and add an appropriate amount of acid or base as a catalyst. Acids, such as p-toluenesulfonic acid; bases, such as potassium carbonate. In the solvent, when heated and refluxed, the amino group of the phenethylamine derivative and the carbonyl group of the aldehyde first undergo a condensation reaction to form an imine intermediate, and then the imine undergoes a series of changes such as nucleophilic addition and reduction in the molecule to obtain the target product. This route is relatively convenient to operate and the reaction selectivity is acceptable, but the purity of the raw material has a great impact on the quality of the product.
Third, quinoline is used as the raw material for hydrogenation. Quinoline is dissolved in a suitable solvent, such as ethanol, ethyl acetate, etc., and a hydrogenation catalyst, such as palladium carbon, platinum black, is added. Under a certain pressure, hydrogen is introduced, and at an appropriate temperature, the double bonds of quinoline are hydrogenated, and some double bonds are reduced to obtain 1-methyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoline. This method has a simple reaction route, but the catalyst cost is high, and the pressure resistance requirements of the reaction equipment are also high.

1-Methyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoline is an organic compound. During storage and transportation, many matters need to be carefully paid attention to.
It has certain chemical activity. When storing, make sure the environment is cool and dry. If placed in a high temperature and humid place, it may cause chemical reactions to occur, resulting in quality deterioration. For example, if placed in a warehouse with high heat and humidity, it may gradually deteriorate, affecting subsequent use.
This compound is sensitive to light or sensitive, so it should be stored away from light. Exposure to strong light may cause luminescent chemical reactions to change its chemical structure. If stored in a transparent container in a light place, it may accelerate its deterioration.
When storing, it should be separated from oxidants, acids and other substances. Due to its chemical properties, if it comes into contact with oxidants and acids, or reacts violently, there is even a risk of explosion.
During transportation, ensure that the packaging is intact. If the packaging is damaged and the compound leaks, it will not only pollute the environment, but also pose a threat to the safety of transporters. For example, the packaging container has cracks, which shake during transportation, seep out substances, or react with surrounding substances.
The transportation vehicle should also be clean and dry, and no substances that can react with it should be left. At the same time, high temperatures and open flames should be avoided during transportation. If the transportation vehicle passes through a high temperature area or is close to a fire source, it may cause danger.
In short, the storage and transportation of 1-methyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoline must be strictly controlled in terms of environmental conditions, packaging, transportation tools, etc., to prevent danger and quality problems.
