8-Methylquinoline is used in QSAR treatment of mutagenicity and cytotoxicity of quinolines.
8-Methylquinoline has been used in preparation of osmium chloridophosphine complexes, as quinoline carbene tautomers.Tumorigenic potential of 8-methylquinoline has been evaluated in newborn CD-1 mice and Sprague-Dawley rats.
ChEBI: A methylquinoline carrying a methyl substituent at position 8.
Slightly soluble in water.
8-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.
8-Methylquinoline is combustible.
Purify it as for 2-methylquinoline. The phosphate and picrate have m 158o and m 201o, respectively. [Beilstein 20 III/IV 3500, 20/7 V 405.]
