CAS 64965-29-3: 8-chloro-4-ethoxyquinoline

Description:8-Chloro-4-ethoxyquinoline is an organic compound characterized by its quinoline structure, which consists of a fused benzene and pyridine ring. The presence of a chlorine atom at the 8-position and an ethoxy group at the 4-position contributes to its unique chemical properties. This compound typically exhibits moderate solubility in organic solvents and may have limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic nature. Its molecular structure allows for potential interactions with biological systems, making it of interest in medicinal chemistry and pharmacology. The chlorine substituent can influence the compound's reactivity and biological activity, while the ethoxy group may enhance lipophilicity. As with many quinoline derivatives, 8-chloro-4-ethoxyquinoline may exhibit antimicrobial, antimalarial, or anticancer properties, although specific biological activities would depend on further empirical studies. Safety and handling precautions should be observed, as with all chemical substances, due to potential toxicity or environmental impact.
