2-Methylquinoline

2-Methylquinoline (CAS 91-63-4), also marketed as Quinaldine, is a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compound used in pharmaceutical synthesis, dye manufacturing and specialty chemical production.

Where is 2-Methylquinoline used?

• Pharmaceutical manufacturing: key synthetic intermediate for antimalarial compounds such as quinine derivatives and other bioactive heterocyclic APIs
• Polymer and plastics: stabilizer and antioxidant precursor, useful in formulations requiring protection against thermal degradation
• Dye and pigment chemistry: synthesis of quinoline yellow and related colorants for food-contact and industrial coatings
• Flavor and fragrance: incorporated at controlled concentrations for its characteristic quinoline note
• It functions as a building block and intermediate for more complex active molecules and functional materials.

Commercial specifications

• Technical and high-purity grades
• Purity levels of 98% and above
• Packaging from small laboratory quantities to drum volumes
