Quinaldine

Quinaldine (CAS 91-63-4, EC 202-085-1), also known as 2-methylquinoline, Chinaldine, and Khinaldin, is a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compound with the molecular formula C10H9N. It carries no assigned E-code and is classified under HS code 29334990 for customs and trade purposes.

In pharmaceutical synthesis, quinaldine serves as a key intermediate in the production of antimalarial and antimicrobial active ingredients, where its quinoline ring system enables targeted biological activity. It also functions as a fragrance and flavorant in food and cosmetic formulations, and acts as a heat stabilizer and antioxidant in polymer processing by interrupting oxidative chain reactions at elevated temperatures.

Quinaldine is supplied in technical and high-purity grades, with compliance documentation available under REACH regulation. It is handled and registered within EU chemical frameworks, and sourced to meet the traceability requirements of food, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical procurement. Standard packaging formats include drums and intermediate bulk containers.
