- Reissert reaction
The Reissert reaction is a series of
chemical reaction s that transformsquinoline toquinaldic acid .Ref|Reissert1905Ref|Gronsheintz1941 Quinolines will react withacid chloride s andpotassium cyanide to give 1-acyl-2-cyano-1,2-dihydroquinolines, also known as Reissert compounds.Hydrolysis gives the desired quinaldic acid.The Reissert reaction is also successful with
isoquinoline sRef|Weinstock1958Ref|Uff1977 and mostpyridine s.Several reviews have been published.Ref|Mosettig1954Ref|McEwen1955
