Production and reactions

It is recovered from coal tar. It can be prepared from aniline and paraldehyde via Skraup synthesis or from aniline and crotonaldehyde via Doebner-von Miller variation of the Skraup reaction.[1]

Hydrogenation of quinaldine gives 2-methyltetrahydroquinoline. This reduction can be conducted enantioselectively.[2]

Uses

Quinaldine is used in manufacturing anti-malaria drugs, dyes and food colorants (e.g., Quinoline Yellows, pinacyanol). It is the precursor to the pH indicator Quinaldine Red.

Quinoline Yellow is a popular dye derived from quinaldine.
Quinaldine Red, a pH indicating dye.

Quinaldine sulfate is an anaesthetic used in fish transportation.[3] In some Caribbean islands it is used to facilitate the collection of tropical fish from reefs.

Quinaldine has critical point at 787 K and 4.9 MPa and its refractive index is 1.8116.
