6-Methylquinoline (6MQ)

6-methylquinoline appears as clear pale yellow liquid or oil, it's dissolved in 4 volumes of 50% ethanol or 60% ethanol of the same volume and in oily fragrances. May be synthesized from p-amino-benzaldehyde and acetone. 6-Methylquinoline has been reported in Camellia sinensis with data available.6-Methylquinoline undergoes biodegradation by quinoline-degrading culture of Pseudomonas putida.6-Methylquinoline can be used as primary carbon source in culture of Pseudomonas putida QP1. 6-Methylquinoline was used in the synthesis of fluorescent halide-sensitive quinolinium dyes and fluorescent probes for determination of chloride in biological systems.
