6-Methoxyquinoline is used as a precursor in the synthesis of:
- Fluorescent zinc and chlorine sensors.
- 5-Amino-2-aroylquinolines as potent tubulin polymerization inhibitors.
- 3-Fluoro-6-methoxyquinoline derivatives as inhibitors of bacterial DNA gyrase and topoisomerase.
- Cobalt-based ternary metal-organic complex as single?ion magnets.
6-Methoxyquinoline is a useful sythetic intermediate
