Application

4-methylquinoline(Cas No.:491-35-0), also known as Lepidine or   cincholepidine, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as   diphenylethers. These are aromatic compounds containing two benzene rings   linked to each other through an ether group. Its methyl group is fairly   acidic, allowing for condensations to occur at this position, especially when   the nitrogen is quaternized. Lepidine is a very strong basic compound (based   on its pKa). Outside of the human body, lepidine has been detected, but not   quantified in, brassicas. This could make lepidine a potential biomarker for   the consumption of these foods. It is used in the preparation of certain   dyes. Lepidine, or 4-methylquinoline, is a heterocyclic aromatic organic   compound.
