Application

4-Hydroxy-2-methylquinoline can be used as an intermediate in the synthesis of a wide range of medicinally important compounds such as:
  • Synthesis of 2-(quinolin-4-yloxy)acetamides as potent antitubercular agents.
  • Synthesis of 2-arylethenylquinoline derivatives for the treatment of Alzheimer′s disease.
  • Synthesis of 1,10-diethoxy-1H-pyrano[4,3-b]quinolones as antibacterial agents.
  • Synthesis of phenylimidazole-pyrazolo[1,5-c]quinazolines as potent phophodiesterase 10A (PDE10A) inhibitors.
