4-Methylquinoline

4-Methylquinoline is 4-methylquinoline, and its chemical structure can be as follows. 4-Methylquinoline is a quinoline derivative. Quinoline has the basic structure of a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic ring, which is formed by fusing a benzene ring with a pyridine ring. And 4-methylquinoline is connected to a methyl group at the 4th position of quinoline.
Looking at its molecule, the core structure of quinoline is composed of two connected six-membered rings, one of which is a benzene ring, which is rich in conjugated π electronic system and has aromatic characteristics, so that its chemical properties are relatively stable, it is not easy to perform addition reactions, and it is more prone to electrophilic substitution reactions. The other is the pyridine ring. The presence of nitrogen atoms makes the electron cloud distribution of the pyridine ring uneven, and the nitrogen atom has an electron-absorbing effect, which reduces the electron cloud density on the ring, especially the electron cloud density at positions 2, 4, and 6 of the pyridine ring is lower, which also affects the reactivity and electronic properties of the whole quinoline molecule.
The methyl group connected at position 4, although it is a simple alkyl group, also affects the properties of 4-methyl quinoline. The methyl group has an electron-induced effect, which can increase the electron cloud density of the connected carbon atoms, which in turn subtly changes the electron cloud distribution of the whole molecule, affecting its physical and chemical properties to a certain extent, such as boiling point, melting point, solubility, and chemical reactivity. Overall, the chemical structure of 4-methylquinoline is composed of the quinoline core fused ring structure and the methyl group at position 4. This unique structure endows it with specific chemical and physical properties, which shows unique application value in organic synthesis, medicinal chemistry and other fields.

4-Methylquinoline is one of the organic compounds. It has many physical properties, which are described in detail by you today.
Under normal temperature and pressure, 4-methylquinoline is a colorless to light yellow oily liquid. Smell it, it has a special smell. This smell is unique, or it can be used to identify this substance.
In terms of its melting point, it is about -3.7 ° C. This value shows that the temperature has dropped slightly, and it has not yet reached an ordinary low temperature, and it can still maintain a liquid state. The boiling point is between 248 and 249 ° C. A higher temperature is required to convert it from liquid to gas. < Br >
The density of 4-methylquinoline is about 1.039g/cm ³. Taking water as a reference, the density of water is 1g/cm ³, and it can be seen that its density is slightly higher than that of water. If it is placed in one place with water, 4-methylquinoline should sink underwater.
Solubility is also an important physical property. 4-methylquinoline is slightly soluble in water, but it is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol, ether, and chloroform. This property is related to the molecular structure. The polarity of its molecules is quite different from that of water molecules, so it is difficult to dissolve in water; and it is soluble because it is adapted to the intermolecular forces of organic solvents.
In addition, the vapor pressure and vapor density of 4-methylquinoline also affect its existence and behavior in different environments. Vapor pressure reflects its volatilization difficulty. At a specific temperature, the higher the vapor pressure, the more volatile it is. The vapor density is related to its distribution in the gas phase and has significance for related chemical operations and environmental effects. These are all important physical properties of 4-methylquinoline.

The common synthesis methods of 4-methylquinoline are as follows.
One is the Skraup synthesis method. This is a co-thermal reaction of aniline, glycerol, concentrated sulfuric acid and oxidizing substances (such as nitrobenzene). Among them, glycerol is dehydrated under the action of concentrated sulfuric acid to produce acronaldehyde, acronaldehyde and aniline undergo an addition reaction, and then cyclized and oxidized to obtain 4-methylquinoline. In this process, concentrated sulfuric acid is not only a dehydrating agent, but also participates in the reaction process. Its advantage is that the raw materials are common and easy to obtain, but the reaction conditions are more harsh, the temperature needs to be precisely controlled, and the nitrobenzene used is highly toxic, which poses certain challenges to the environment and operation safety. < Br >
The second is the Conrad-Limpach synthesis method. Using N-aryl amide as the starting material, in the presence of appropriate dehydrating agents (such as polyphosphoric acid), 4-methylquinoline is obtained by intramolecular cyclization reaction. The key to this method lies in the preparation of N-aryl amide, which is relatively simple to synthesize, and the reaction conditions are slightly milder than the Scroop method. However, the post-treatment of polyphosphoric acid is slightly more complicated and has a certain corrosive effect on the reaction equipment.
The third is the Pomeranz-Fritsch synthesis method. Acetophenone and formamide are used as raw materials to condensate to form imines, which are then cyclized and dehydrated to produce 4-methylquinoline. The raw materials of this route are easy to obtain and the operation is relatively simple, but there are many reaction steps, and the overall yield is sometimes greatly affected by each step.
There are other synthetic routes, but the above three are common methods, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. In actual synthesis, the choice needs to be weighed according to many factors such as specific needs, raw material availability, cost and environmental protection.
