Usage

General Description

2-methylenehexanal, also known as cis-2-hexenal or leaf aldehyde, is a chemical compound commonly found in various plant oils and fruits such as green apples, tomatoes, and green tea. It is a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a potent, green, grassy odor. 2-methylenehexanal is widely used as a food flavoring agent and is also utilized in the fragrance and perfume industry due to its fresh, natural scent. Additionally, it has been studied for its potential antimicrobial and antioxidant properties, as well as its ability to inhibit the growth of certain cancer cells. Moreover, it is considered a volatile organic compound and can contribute to the characteristic smell of freshly cut grass.

A Systematic Study on the Synthesis of n-Butyl Substituted 8-Aminoquinolines

(Chemical Equation Presented) A systematic study on the synthesis of 8-aminoquinoline derivatives with an n-butyl group at each alternate position of the quinoline ring was carried out. Skraup Reaction and its Doebner-von Miller variation were used to obtain most of the quinoline ring except for the 2-butyl-8-aminoquinolines and 4-butyl-8-aminoquinolines where the commercially available methylquinoline derivatives were used as precursors. The structures of the synthesized compounds were characterized by FTIR, 1H-NMR, COSY, 13C-NMR and HRMS spectra.
