Tetrahydroquinoline is an organic compound that is the semi-hydrogenated derivative of quinoline. It is a colorless oil.

Use

[edit]

Substituted derivatives of tetrahydroquinoline are common in medicinal chemistry.[1] Oxamniquine, dynemycin, viratmycin, and nicainoprol are bioactive tetrahydroquinolines.[2] Typically tetrahydroquinoline derivatives are prepared by hydrogenation of the corresponding quinoline using heterogeneous catalysts.

Synthesis

[edit]

Tetrahydroquinolines are produced by hydrogenation of quinolines. Because the hydrogenation is reversible, tetrahydroquinoline has been often examined as a hydrogen-donor solvent in coal liquifaction.

Using homogeneous catalysts, asymmetric hydrogenation has been demonstrated.[3] It can also be prepared from 1-indanone (benzocyclopentanone).[4]
