4-Chloro-2-methyl-8-nitroquinoline

CAS: 56983-07-4

4-Chloro-2-methyl-8-nitroquinoline is a quinoline analog that is protonated to form a proton sponge. This proton sponge is able to bind to protons and remove them from the solution through protonation, which results in a decrease in pH. The structural similarity of 4-chloro-2-methyl-8-nitroquinoline to the natural amino acid histidine allows it to act as an analog for this amino acid. In addition, the nitrogen atom on 4-chloro-2-methyl-8 nitroquinoline has a heteroatom that can bind with protons. As a result, this compound can be used as a proton sponge for its ability to remove protons from solutions.
