3-, 5-, 6-, 7- and 8-nitroquinoline as well as 5,7- and 6,8-dinitroquinoline are methylaminated with a liquid methylamine solution of potassium permanganate (LMA/PP) to the corresponding mono- and bis(methylamino)-substituted compounds. 2-Nitroquinoline is aminated with LMA/PP to 2-(methylamino)quinoline.The intermediate methylamino ?-adducts of 3-nitro- and 5,7- and 6,8-dinitroquinoline are detected by 1H-NMR spectroscopy.Quantum chemical calculations for the mononitroquinolines suggest that the experimentally observed regioselectivity of the methylamination is controlled by an interaction of frontal molecular orbitals (FMO) of the reagents.
