Product Information
- Quinoline, 4-Bromo-6-Methoxy-
4-Bromo-6-methoxyquinoline is a quinoline derivative that has been used to identify the presence of iodides in biomolecules. The reactions of 4-bromo-6-methoxyquinoline with various amines have been studied and found to be dependent on the stereochemistry of the amine. In particular, 4-bromo-6-methoxyquinoline reacts with pipecolic acid (lactam) to form an acridone product, while it reacts with chiral amines to form a racemic mixture. This reaction is possible due to the fact that the quinoline moiety can act as an electrophile and nucleophile at different points in its structure. The synthesis of 4-bromo-6-methoxyquinoline has also been used as an example for the synthesis of taxol, which is a drug used for treating cancer.
