4(1H)-Quinolinone, 6-chloro-2-methyl-

Description:

4(1H)-Quinolinone, 6-chloro-2-methyl- is an organic compound characterized by its quinolinone structure, which features a fused bicyclic system comprising a benzene ring and a pyridine ring. The presence of a chlorine atom at the 6-position and a methyl group at the 2-position contributes to its unique chemical properties. This compound typically exhibits a pale yellow to brownish color and is soluble in organic solvents. It may display biological activity, making it of interest in medicinal chemistry and drug development. The chlorine substituent can influence the compound's reactivity and interaction with biological targets, while the methyl group can affect its lipophilicity and overall pharmacokinetic profile. As with many quinolinone derivatives, it may participate in various chemical reactions, including nucleophilic substitutions and electrophilic aromatic substitutions, making it a versatile building block in organic synthesis. Safety and handling precautions should be observed, as with any chemical substance, due to potential toxicity or reactivity.
