Chemical Properties
colorless to light yellow liquid
Uses
3-Methylquinoline may be used as carbon, nitrogen and energy supplement to investigate its degradation by
Comamonas testosteroni 63. It may be used as ligand in the preparation of tetra-μ-benzoato-bis[(3-methylquinoline)copper(II)], a paddle-wheel-type dinuclear complex.
Uses
It can be degraded efficiently by the QL-degrading bacteria.
Definition
ChEBI: 3-methylquinoline is a methylquinoline. It has a role as a xenobiotic.
General Description
3-Methylquinoline is a quinoline derivative. It is widely employed for the synthesis of dyes, food coloring agents, pharmaceutical reagents, pH indicators and in various industrial processes. It has been synthesized by the methylation of quinoline with methanol in the presence of various zeolites in a fixed-bed reactor.
