Two bicyclic aromatic compounds contain one nitrogen quinoline (N at position 1) and isoquinoline (N at position 2). Indole has a pyrrole unit fused to a benzene ring to give a bicyclic aromatic system with N at position 1. 

Crude oils contain nitrogen compounds in the form of basic substances such as quinoline, isoquinoline, and pyridine, or neutral materials such as pyrrole, indole, and carbazole. 

Concerning non-metallic compounds, the antiknocking properties of nitrogen compounds such that derivatives of aniline, indole and quinoline, and certain phenol derivatives have been mentioned. 

Dissolve ca. 0 2 g. of product (I) in cold ethanol, and add with shaking 1-2 drops of dilute sulphuric acid. A deep purple coloration appears at once. This shows that salt formation has occurred on the quinoline nitrogen atom to form the cation (Ha), which will form a resonance hybrid with the quinonoid form tils). [Note that the forms (IIa) and (11b) differ only in electron position, and they are not therefore tautomeric.] If, hoAvever, salt formation had occurred on the dimethylaniino group to give the cation (III), thrs charge separiition could not occur, and the deep colour would be absent. 

An alternative method of removing the aniline is to add 30 ml. of concentrated sulphuric acid carefully to the steam distillate, cool the solution to 0-5°, and add a concentrated solution of sodium nitrite until a drop of the reaction mixture colours potassium iodide - starch paper a deep blue instantly. As the diazotisation approaches completion, the reaction becomes slow it will therefore be necessary to teat for excess of nitrous acid after an interval of 5 minutes, stirring all the whUe. About 12 g. of sodium nitrite are usually required. The diazotised solution is then heated on a boiling water bath for an hour (or until active evolution of nitrogen ceases), treated with a solution of 60 g. of sodium hydroxide in 200 ml. of water, the mixture steam-distilled, and the quinoline isolated from the distillate by extrsM-tion with ether as above. 

The first quantitative studies of the nitration of quinoline, isoquinoline, and cinnoline were made by Dewar and Maitlis, who measured isomer proportions and also, by competition, the relative rates of nitration of quinoline and isoquinoline (1 24-5). Subsequently, extensive kinetic studies were reported for all three of these heterocycles and their methyl quaternary derivatives (table 10.3). The usual criteria established that over the range 77-99 % sulphuric acid at 25 °C quinoline reacts as its cation (i), and the same is true for isoquinoline in 71-84% sulphuric acid at 25 °C and 67-73 % sulphuric acid at 80 °C ( 8.2 tables 8.1, 8.3). Cinnoline reacts as the 2-cinnolinium cation (nia) in 76-83% sulphuric acid at 80 °C (see table 8.1). All of these cations are strongly deactivated. Approximate partial rate factors of /j = 9-ox io and /g = i-o X io have been estimated for isoquinolinium. The unproto-nated nitrogen atom of the 2-cinnolinium (ina) and 2-methylcinno-linium (iiiA) cations causes them to react 287 and 200 more slowly than the related 2-isoquinolinium (iia) and 2-methylisoquinolinium (iii)... 

J lie decarboxylation is frequently the most troublesome step in this sequence. Attempts at simple thermal decarboxylation frequently lead to recycliz-ation to the lactam. The original investigators carried out decarboxylation by acidic hydrolysis and noted that rings with ER substituents were most easily decarboxylated[2]. It appears that ring protonation is involved in the decarboxylation under hydrolytic conditions. Quinoline-copper decarboxylation has been used successfully after protecting the exocyclic nitrogen with a phthaloyl, acetyl or benzoyl group[3]. 

Although only ppm levels of nitrogen are found in the mid-distillates, both neutral and basic nitrogen compounds have been isolated and identified in fractions boiling below 345°C (12). Pyrroles and indoles account for about two-thirds of the nitrogen. The remaining nitrogen is found in the basic pyridine and quinoline compounds. Most of these compounds are alkylated. 

Chemical Properties. The presence of both a carbocycHc and a heterocycHc ring faciUtates a broad range of chemical reactions for (1) and (2). Quaternary alkylation on nitrogen takes place readily, but unlike pyridine both quinoline and isoquinoline show addition by subsequent reaction with nucleophiles. Nucleophilic substitution is promoted by the heterocycHc nitrogen. ElectrophiHc substitution takes place much more easily than in pyridine, and the substituents are generally located in the carbocycHc ring. 

Oxidation. The synthesis of quinolinic acid and its subsequent decarboxylation to nicotinic acid [59-67-6] (7) has been accompHshed direcdy in 79% yield using a nitric—sulfuric acid mixture above 220°C (25). A wide variety of oxidants have been used in the preparation of quinoline N-oxide. This substrate has proved to be useful in the preparation of 2-chloroquinoline [612-62-4] and 4-chloroquinoline [611 -35-8] using sulfuryl chloride (26). The oxidized nitrogen is readily reduced with DMSO (27) (see Amine oxides). 

Qu tern iy S Its. The ring nitrogen of quinoline reacts with a wide variety of alkylating and acylating agents to produce useful intermediates like A/-benzoylquinolinium chloride [4903-36-0] (8). The quinoline 1,2-adducts, eg, A/-benzyl-2-cyano-l,2-dihydroquinoline [13721 -17-0] (9), or Reissert compounds (28), formed with potassium cyanide can produce 2-carboxyquinoline [93-10-7] (10) or 2-cyanoquinoline [11436-43-7] (11). 

Nitrogen nucleophiles used to diplace the 3 -acetoxy group include substituted pyridines, quinolines, pyrimidines, triazoles, pyrazoles, azide, and even aniline and methylaniline if the pH is controlled at 7.5. Sulfur nucleophiles include aLkylthiols, thiosulfate, thio and dithio acids, carbamates and carbonates, thioureas, thioamides, and most importandy, from a biological viewpoint, heterocycHc thiols. The yields of the displacement reactions vary widely. Two general approaches for improving 3 -acetoxy displacement have been reported. One approach involves initial, or in situ conversion of the acetoxy moiety to a more facile leaving group. The other approach utilizes Lewis or Brmnsted acid activation (87). 

When two fused six-membered rings (naphthalene analogues) are considered, possibilities become very numerous, partly on account of the reduced symmetry of naphthalene, compared with benzene, and also because of the larger number of positions available for substitution. Thus, there are two monoazanaphthalenes, quinoline (8) and isoquinoline (9), four benzodiazines [cinnoline (10), phthalazine (11), quinazoline (12) and quinoxaline(13)], with the two nitrogen atoms in the same ring, and six naphthyridines (e.g. (14), named and... 

Acylation of -ones and -diones appears to occur mainly at oxygen, but in the fused pyridazino[4,5-6]quinoline (312) the O-acyl derivative (313) was formed via an iV,0-diacyl derivative (72BSF1588). Reduced derivatives, however, are acylated at nitrogen. 

These hydrolyses afford further evidence of the existence in the four alkaloids of a quinoline nucleus and of a second ring system containing a nitrogen atom. The formulae of the two alkaloids may, therefore, be extended thus Cinchonine, CgHjN. CiqHj5(OH)N Quinine,... 

Expulsion of nitrogen with formation of the A -l-methyl compound (9) occurs by heating (8) at ca. 220° or at room temperature by contact with acidic adsorbents. ° However, in this case perchloric acid or boron trifluoride etherate catalyzed fragmentation is not possible, although high yields (80 %) of (9) are obtained by heating (8) with quinoline or aniline. The la,2a-methylene compound (10) is always obtained as a by-product in 5% yield. 

In the Meth-Cohn quinoline synthesis, the acetanilide becomes a nucleophile and provides the framework of the quinoline (nitrogen and the 2,3-carbons) and the 4-carbon is derived from the Vilsmeier reagent. The reaction mechanism involves the initial conversion of an acylanilide 1 into an a-iminochloride 11 by the action of POCI3. The a-chloroenamine tautomer 12 is subsequently C-formylated by the Vilsmeier reagent 13 derived from POCI3 and DMF. In examples where acetanilides 1 (r = H) are employed, a second C-formylation of 14 occurs to afford 15 subsequent cyclisation and... 

The stabilizing influence in the hydrated cation is the amidinium resonance. If a solution of the cation is neutralized, a short-lived hydrated neutral molecule (4) (half-life 9 sec at pH 10) is obtained with an ultraviolet spectrum similar to that of the hydrated cation but shifted to longer wavelengths (5 m/ ). Supporting evidence can be derived from the anhydrous nature of the cation of 4-nitroiso-quinoline (pK 1.35), in which the nitro group has a similar electronic influence to that of the ring nitrogen atom N-I in quinazoline and where amidinium resonance is not possible.
