It is a derivative of the heterocycle quinoline by placement of an OH group on carbon number 8. This colorless compound is widely used commercially, although under a variety of names.[2][3]
Contents
Synthesis
It is usually prepared from quinoline-8-sulfonic acid and from a Skraup synthesis from 2-aminophenol.[4]
As a chelating agent
8-Hydroxyquinoline is a monoprotic bidentate chelating agent. Related ligands are the Schiff bases derived from salicylaldehyde, such as salicylaldoxime and salen. In neutral solution, the hydroxyl is in the protonated form (pKa=9.89) and the nitrogen is not protonated (pKa=5.13).[5] However, an excited-state zwitterionic isomer exists in which H+ is transferred from the oxygen (giving an oxygen anion) to the nitrogen (giving a protonated nitrogen cation).[6]
Applications
The complexes as well as the heterocycle itself exhibit antiseptic, disinfectant, and pesticide properties.[7][8] Its solution in alcohol is used as liquid bandages. It once was of interest as an anti-cancer drug.[9]
The reaction of 8-hydroxyquinoline with aluminium(III) [10] 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.[11]
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.
Hydroxyquinoline was used as a stabilizer of hydrogen peroxide in a rocket fuel oxidizer (T-Stoff) for the German Messerschmitt Me 163 Komet in World War 2.
