The ionization constant of a typical heterocyclic compound (e.g., quinoline) designates the equilibrium involving a proton, a neutral molecule and its cation. With quinazoline, however, two distinct species (hydrated and anhydrous) are involved each of which is in equilibrium with its cation, and can be represented as in the reaction scheme, (7), (8), (3), and (4). 

The association of the excited state derived from four 2-substituted imidazo [4,5-/]quinolines with 2-propanol in cyclohexane has been studied. The unusual bathochromic shift and the bandwidth of the fluorescence spectra of these heterocyclic compounds in 2-propanol-cyclohexane solutions, compared with those... 

Modifications of this method, such as the use of the more stable diazonium trifluoroacetates and the decomposition of benzenedia-zonium zincichloride with zinc dust, have been used as sources of aryl radicals, although not in the arylation of heterocyclic compounds. Pyridine, quinoline, and thiophene can be phenylated by treatment with benzenediazonium chloride and aluminum trichloride. ... 

On the basis of the reaction of alkyl radicals with a number of polycyclic aromatics, Szwarc and Binks calculated the relative selectivities of several radicals methyl, 1 (by definition) ethyl, 1.0 n-propyl, 1.0 trichloromethyl, 1.8. The relative reactivities of the three alkyl radicals toward aromatics therefore appears to be the same. On the other hand, quinoline (the only heterocyclic compound so far examined in reactions with alkyl radicals other than methyl) shows a steady increase in its reactivity toward methyl, ethyl, and n-propyl radicals. This would suggest that the nucleophilic character of the alkyl radicals increases in the order Me < Et < n-Pr, and that the selectivity of the radical as defined by Szwarc is not necessarily a measure of its polar character. 

Udenfriend et al. observed that aromatic compounds are hydroxyl-ated by a system consisting of ferrous ion, EDTA, ascorbic acid, and oxygend Aromatic and heteroaroinatic compounds are hydroxylated at the positions which are normally most reactive in electrophilic substitutions. For example, acetanilide gives rise exclusively to the o-and p-hydroxy isomers whereas quinoline gives the 3-hydroxy prod-uct. - The products of the reaction of this system w ith heterocyclic compounds are shown in Table XIII. 

Quinoxalines undergo facile addition reactions with nucleophilic reagents. The reaction of quinoxaline with allylmagnesium bromide gives, after hydrolysis of the initial adduct, 86% of 2,3-diallyl-l,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoxaline. Quinoxaline is more reactive to this nucleophile than related aza-heterocyclic compounds, and the observed order of reactivity is pyridine < quinoline isoquinoline < phenan-thridine acridine < quinoxaline. ... 

The conclusion that the nitration of quinoline in sulphuric acid takes place via the conjugate acid has been confirmed by Moodie et al.50, who measured the rates of nitration of a wide range of heterocyclic compounds in nitric acid-sulphuric acid mixtures at a range of temperatures. A summary of the second-order rate coefficients and Arrhenius parameters is given in Table 4. From an analysis of the shapes of the plots of log k2 versus sulphuric acid acidity (or some function of this), it was concluded that all of the compounds starred in Table 4... 

Data are given in Table IV for heterocyclic compounds. For piperidine there is no difference between E and E, showing that the bond energies used are applicable to saturated heterocyclic molecules. Pyridine and quinoline differ from benzene and naphthalene only by the presence of one N in place of CH and, as expected, the values 1.87 v.e. and 3.01 v.e., respectively, of the resonance energy are equal to within 10 percent to the values for the corresponding hydrocarbons. 

The latter reagent also methylates certain heterocyclic compounds (e.g., quinoline) and certain fused aromatic compounds (e.g., anthracene, phenanthrene). The reactions with the sulfur carbanions are especially useful, since none of these substrates can be methylated by the Friedel-Crafts procedure (11-12). It has been reported that aromatic nitro compounds can also be alkylated, not only with methyl but with other alkyl and substituted alkyl groups as well, in ortho and para positions, by treatment with an alkyllithium compound (or, with lower yields, a Grignard reagent), followed by an oxidizing agent such as Bra or DDQ (P- 1511). 

In this chapter, an attempt has been made to present a total number of 20 QSAR models (12 QSAR models for topo I inhibitors and eight QSAR models for topo II inhibitors) on 11 different heterocyclic compound series (an-thrapyrazoles, benzimidazoles, benzonaphthofurandiones, camptothecins, desoxypodophyllotoxins, isoaurostatins, naphthyridinones, phenanthridines, quinolines, quinolones, and terpenes) as well as on some miscellaneous heterocyclic compounds for their inhibition against topo I and II. They have been found to be well-correlated with a number of physicochemical and structural parameters. The conclusion, from the analysis of these 20 QSAR, has been drawn that the inhibition of topo I is largely dependent on the hydrophobicity of the compounds/substituents. On the other hand, steric parameters (molar refractivity, molar volume, and Verloop s sterimol parameters) are important for topo II inhibition. 

In general, symmetrical oxo-squaraines having the same end-groups are synthesized by reacting squaric acid with two equivalents of quatemized indolenine, 2-methyl-substituted benzothiazole, benzoselenazole, pyridine, quinoline [39, 45, 46] (Fig. 4) in a mixture of 1-butanol - toluene or 1-butanol - benzene with azeotropic removal of water in presence [39, 45] or absence [47] of quinoline as a catalyst. Other reported solvent systems include 1-butanol - pyridine [48], 1-propanol - chlorobenzene, or a mixture of acetic acid with pyridine and acetic anhydride [49]. Low CH-acidic, heterocyclic compounds such as quatemized aryl-azoles and benzoxazole do not react, and the corresponding oxo-squaraines cannot be obtained using this method [23, 50]. 

The reduction of aromatic nitro compounds to amino derivatives and cyclizations to various heterocyclic compounds are presented in Chapter 9. Recent advances are presented here. Reaction of 2-nitrobenzaldehyde with vinyl carbonyl compounds in the presence of 1,4-diazbi-cyclo[2.2.2]octane affords Baylis-Hillman products, the catalytic reduction of which results in direct cyclization to quinoline derivatives (Eq. 10.78).134...

The low selectivity affects the synthetic interest of homolytic arylation from two points of view. The first concerns the position of substitution generally all the free positions are substituted, giving very complex mixtures of isomers. Thus, for example, quinoline gives all the seven possible isomers in appreciable amounts.This is in contrast to all the homolytic substitutions described in the previous sections, which lead to exclusive attack at the 2- and 4-positions. The other aspect concerns the conversions of the heterocyclic compounds, which are always very low, usually lower than 1%. If the conversions are high, the mixture of the reaction products becomes much more complex. Thus with quinoline it can be easily foreseen from the partial rate factors (Table IX) that not only all the possible 21 diphenylquinoline isomers, but also... 

Oxime derivatives of heterocyclic compounds, such as pyrrole and quinoline, were proposed as anti-inflammatory agents, probably due to their ability to inhibit the biosynthesis of leukotrienes . Inhibition of 5-lipogenase by oximes of biphenyl sulfides , and by 0-aIkylcarboxylate oximes of indole " , were suggested as key leads for the development of efficient anti-inflammatory drugs.
