General description

3-Methylquinoline is a quinoline derivative. It is widely employed for the synthesis of dyes, food coloring agents, pharmaceutical reagents, pH indicators and in various industrial processes. It has been synthesized by the methylation of quinoline with methanol in the presence of various zeolites in a fixed-bed reactor.

Application

3-Methylquinoline may be used as carbon, nitrogen and energy supplement to investigate its degradation by Comamonas testosteroni 63. It may be used as ligand in the preparation of tetra-μ-benzoato-bis[(3-methylquinoline)copper(II)], a paddle-wheel-type dinuclear complex.

The enzymes catalysing the first two steps of quinoline and 3-methylquinoline degradation by Comamonas testosteroni 63 were investigated. Quinoline 2-oxidoreductase, which catalyses the hydroxylation of (3-methyl-)quinoline to (3-methyl-)2-oxo-1,2-dihydroquinoline, was purified to apparent homogeneity. The native enzyme, with a molecular mass

A bacterial strain which utilizes 3-methylquinoline as sole source of carbon, nitrogen and energy was isolated from activated sludge. On the basis of its morphological and physiological characteristics, this isolate was classified as Comamonas testosteroni. Four metabolites of 3-methylquinoline degradation
