Abstract A number of secondary and tertiary amines bearing 2-chloro-6-methylquinoline were synthesized by nucleophilic substitution reaction of 3-(chloromethyl)-2-chloro-6- methylquinoline with substituted aromatic primary and secondary amines in presence of catalytic amount of triethylamine (TEA) and K 2 CO 3. All the compounds were characterized by combined use of IR, 1 H-NMR, 13 C-NMR, mass spectral data, and microanalyses. The ...
