INTRODUCTION Quinoline is condensed heterocyclic system. Quinolines are also termed as Benzopyridines because they have fused benzene
and pyridine rings. Quinoline has a molecular formula of C9H7N and its molecular weight is 129.16. The log P value is 2.04 and has
an acidic pKb of 4.85 and a basic pKa of 9.5 and it is a weak tertiary base. The quinoline ring system occurs in various natural
products, especially in alkaloids.
The quinoline skeleton is often used for the design of many synthetic compounds with diverse pharmacological properties
and alteration in it shows numerous biological activities. Quinoline was first extracted from coal tar in 1834 by Friedlieb Ferdinand
Runge. Various quinoline compounds can be prepared by Skraup synthesis using series of different oxidizing agents. Quinoline family
compounds are widely used as a parent compound to make drugs (especially anti-malarial medicines), fungicides, alkaloids, dyes,
rubber chemicals and flavouring agents. They have antiseptic and antipyretic properties. They are also used as catalyst, corrosion
inhibitor, preservative, and as a solvent for resins and terpenes. They are used in transition-metal complex catalyst chemistry (for
uniform polymerization) and luminescence chemistry. They are also used as antifoaming agent in refinery field [1].

METHODS OF SYNTHESIS
A number of recognized protocols are there for the synthesis of quinoline ring, which can be well tailored to prepare different
substituted quinolines.
Friedlaender Synthesis It involves in the condensation of aldehyde and ketone containing active methylene group in presence of alcoholic NaOH.
The starting materials for this quinoline synthesis are o-aminobenzaldehyde or o-aminoacetophenone which is condensed with
aldehydes or ketones containing an active methylene group in refluxing alcoholic sodium hydroxide solution to yield quinoline (2) [2].
Acid catalysed condensation of o-aminobenzophenone with polyfunctional carbonyl compounds gives substituted quinolines
(3) [3, 4].
Skraup synthesis
In the archetypal Skraup reaction, aniline is heated with sulfuric acid, glycerol and an oxidizing agent such as nitrobenzene to
yield quinoline (4) [2, 5, 6].

The reaction has been shown to proceed by dehydration of glycerol to α, β-unsaturated aldehyde, acrolein (produced in situ),
aniline added to acrolein via the Michael addition across the vinyl group to give aniline propanal on the aromatic ring resulting in ring
closure [7]. Dehydration leads to 1, 2-dihydroquinoline [8, 9] which on oxidation results in quinoline.
Doebner reaction This is the chemical reaction of aniline with an aldehyde and pyruvic acid to form quinoline-4-carboxylic acids (5) [10, 11].
Conrad-Limpach synthesis The Conrad-Limpach synthesis involves the condensation of aniline with β-ketoesters to form 4-hydroxyquinolines (6) via a
Schiff bases. The overall reaction type is a combination of both an addition as well as a rearrangement reaction. This reaction was
discovered by Max Conrad (1848-1920) and Leonhard Limpach (1852-1933) in 1887 while they were studying the synthesis of
quinoline derivatives.
The mechanism begins with an attack of aniline on the keto group of the β-ketoester to form a tetrahedral intermediate. The
newly formed oxide is then twice protonated to form the Schiff base, which then undergoes keto-enol tautomerization. The mechanism
concludes with the removal of an alcohol, a series of proton transfers, and a keto/enol tautomerization to form a 4-hydroxyquinoline,
which is final product of the Conrad-Limpach synthesis [12].
Doebner-Miller reaction
It is closely related to the Skraup synthesis as it also utilizes an aromatic amine and proceeds through the intermediate
formation of a dihydroquinoline. The reagent which brings about dehydrogenation differs from the Skraup synthesis. In this synthesis
an aromatic amine, aniline and two molecules of an aldehyde are heated in the presence of hydrochloric acid [13] to form Schiff’s
base. Two molecules of this schiff’s base self-condense [14, 15] to form the quinoline nucleus (7).
Camps quinoline synthesis (also known as the Camps cyclization) It is a chemical reaction whereby an o-acylaminoacetophenone is transformed into two different hydroxyquinolines (products
8 and 9) using hydroxide ion [16-19]. The relative proportions of the hydroxyquinolines (8 and 9) produced are dependent upon the
reaction conditions and structure of the starting material. Although the reaction product is commonly depicted as a quinoline (the enol
form), it is believed that the keto form predominates in both the solid state and in solution, making the compound a quinolone [20].

Knorr Quinoline synthesis It is an intramolecular organic reaction converting a β-ketoanilide to a 2-hydroxyquinoline (10) using sulphuric acid. This
reaction was first described by Ludwig Knorr (1859-1921) in 1886 [21].
Niementowski Quinoline synthesis It involves the reaction between anthranilic acid and ketone or aldehyde to form γ-hydroxyquinoline derivative (11) [22-25].
Pfitzinger synthesis This is a modification of the Friedlander method. The required o-aminonbenzaldehyde in the Friedlander synthesis is
difficult to obtain and often unstable. The difficulty has been overcome in the Pfitzinger synthesis which insisted the use of Isatin.
Isatin in the presence of alkali is converted to Isatoic acid which is condensed with a ketone to form quinoline (12).
Pictet Method
According to this procedure, N-ethylacetamide is heated with zinc chloride to yield 2-methylquinoline (13). Pictet found that
N-ethylacetamide afforded a mixture of quinoline and toluidine.
Combes synthesis
In Combes synthesis, condensation of β-diketone with the unsubstituted arylamine yielded substituted quinoline (14) after an
acid catalyzed ring closure of an intermediate Schiff base [26, 27].

CHEMICAL REACTIONS
Quinoline exhibits chemical properties associated with a tertiary amine. In addition because of the fusion of a benzene ring,
properties of both benzenoid and pyridinoid compounds frequently manifest themselves.
Reaction with Acids Quinoline is a week base and is thus protonated on the ring nitrogen with mineral acids to form water soluble salts (15).
Electrophilic substitution
The electron-rich nitrogen atom of quinoline is the main centre for attack by electrophiles. The hetero atom has considerable
deactivating effect on the ring towards electrophilic attack. In this respect the electrophilic reaction of quinoline may be compared
with 1-nitronaphthalene just as that of pyridine with nitrobenzene. Therefore, electrophilic substitution on quinoline nucleus requires
severe conditions through less than those in the case of pyridine. The attack in the protonated quinoline takes place in the carbocyclic
ring at C-5 and C-8 position (16, 17) because the corresponding intermediates [28] can be represented by resonance structure in which
the aromaticity of the heterocyclic ring is still preserved. As a π-electron deficient heterocycle, quinoline is less reactive than benzene
particular in acid solutions.
Halogenation
Attack by a halogen depends on the nature of the reagent employed for halogenation. Chlorination (SO2Cl2) of quinoline for
instance, yields 3-chloroquinoline while bromination (Br2, CCl4) yields 3-bromoquinoline (18). The product is obtained by the
following addition–elimination mechanism. Orientation in the presence of strong acids (Br2, Ag2SO4) proceeds to give a mixture of 5-
and 8-bromoquinolines [29] the reacting species being Quinolinium cation.
Nitration
The nitration and sulfonation of quinoline can be carried out under conditions which are less strenuous than those in the case
of pyridine. The pyridine ring is already π-electron deficient and becomes more so by protonation of the ring nitrogen atom. Acidic
electrophilic reagents thus show a strong preference for attack on the benzene ring. Nitration (HNO3, H2SO4) of quinoline gives a
mixture of 5- and 8-nitroquinolines (19, 20) in equal amounts. In acetic anhydride as solvent or with dinitrogen tetroxide as nitrating
agent, the nitration proceeds in a totally different manner and very inefficiency [30].
Sulfonation
The products of sulfonation vary with the experimental conditions. In conc. sulphuric acid quinoline almost entirely
converted into quinolinium cation. Sulfonation at 2200C results in attack at the benzene ring to give largely quinoline 8-sulfonic acid.
At a very high temperature (3000C), 6-quinolinesulfonic acid is obtained because the 5-and 8-isomers (21, 22) rearrange to the 6-
isomer which is thermodynamically more stable.

Mercuration
With mercuric acetate, quinoline forms the quaternary N-mercurlacetate at room temperature. At 1600C further substitution
occurs and treatment with sodium chloride, gives a mixture of 3-and 8-mercuric chlorides (23, 24).
Friedel-Crafts Reaction
This reaction is rare in the quinoline series because of the deactivation of the ring by the nitrogen atom. However, the friedel-
Crafts acylation of quinoline occurs at the 5th
postion (25) but not 7th
postion.
Reaction with Nucleophiles:
Attack by a nucleophile occurs on the pyridine ring of quinoline and 2nd
position (26) is the preferred site for such an attack.
If this position is occupied then attack may takes place at the 4th
position. The Chichibabin reaction is an example of a normal attack at
C2.
The addition of organolithium reagents to quinoline in a 1, 2-fashion is well established [31] and the resultant 1, 2-
dihydroquinoline can be manipulated [32, 33]. Oxidation leads to 2-alkylquinoline while reduction with Na/C2H5OH or metal hydrides
give 2-substituted 1, 2, 3, 4-tetrahydroquinoline (27).
Quaternization at the nitrogen atom reinforces the ability to react with nucleophilic reagents [34] even weak nucleophiles
attack readily on the 1-alkylquinolium cations. This, behaviour is illustrated by the attack of a Grignard reagent and the resultant
formulation of 1-methyl-2-phenyl-1, 2-dihydroquinoline (28) known as Reissert compounds [34, 35].
Halo derivative of quinoline on reaction with potassium amide in liquor ammonia give rise to product 2, 3-diamino quinoline
(29) [36].

Besides halo derivative of quinoline, isoquinoline and naphthalene undergo rapid nucleophilic substitution with nucleophiles
like alkoxides and thiolate ions [37]. The reaction is accomplished using microwave irradiation to form 2-methoxy quinoline (30).
Reaction with Reducing Agents
Quinoline is more readily reduced than naphthalene just as pyridine is easily reduced than benzene. Reduction of quinoline to
1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoline is best achieved with Raney nickel or PtO2, H2 [38], or ammonium carbonate [39],
Pd/C in acid media the
benzo group can be selectively reduced [40]. Hydrogenation to decahydroquinoline is difficult.
Reaction with Oxidizing Agents
In the course of degradative oxidation of quinoline, pyridine ring remains intact while the benzene ring is destroyed on
treatment with alkaline potassium permanganate this is because of pyridine ring is π-deficient and oxidation is independent of electron
availability [41].
Ozonolysis of quinoline gives glyoxal (36) and pyridine-2, 3-dicarboxaldehyde (37).
Oxidation of quinolines with peracids leads to quinoline N-oxides in excellent yields. In substituted quinolines the yield
depends on the nature and location of the substituents [42]. The ring activation by N-oxide group of quinoline is analogous to that or

pyridine N-oxide. The electrophilic attack in quinoline N-oxide takes place at C4 to give 4-nitroquinoline N-oxide while at low
temperature 5-and 8-isomers are also obtained [43, 44].

FEW PROMISING COMPOUNDS WITH QUINOLINE RING SYSTEM [51]
CONCLUSION
Since Quinoline and its derivatives possess wide spectrum of pharmacological activity, we have made here efforts to
compiled most of the synthetic procedure for quinolines and their pharmacological activities that have been reported in the literature.
This review will be very useful to the researchers working in this field, and it would help them to develop a new eco-friendly, efficient
and economical method for the synthesis of quinolines. This is necessary from today’s point of view as we need an environmentally
clean protocol for the large scale production of such an important biological moiety, which may be used further in many reactions to
develop a potent pharmacophore for the future.
