Preparation: It is usually prepared from quinoline-8-sulfonic acid and from a Skraup synthesis from 2-aminophenol. This chemical can also be prepared by quinoline. This reaction will need reagent O₃, isopentyl alcohol and solvent H₂O. The reaction temperature is -0.1 °C. The yield is about 78%.

Uses of 8-Hydroxyquinoline: it can be used to produce 8-butoxy-quinoline. This reaction will need reagent ethanol and KOH-solution.

This colorless compound is widely used commercially, although under a variety of names. Solution of 8-Hydroxyquinoline in alcohol is used as liquid bandages. It once was of interest as an anti-cancer drug. The reaction of 8-Hydroxyquinoline with aluminium(III) results in Alq3, a common component of organic light-emitting diodes (OLED's). Variations in the substituents on the quinoline rings affect its luminescence properties. The roots of the invasive plant Centaurea diffusa release 8-Hydroxyquinoline, which has a negative effect on plants that have not co-evolved with it.
