Quinoline (CAS 91-22-5)
Quinoline (CAS 91-22-5) is an aromatic heterocyclic compound consisting of a benzene ring fused to a pyridine ring.
Quinoline is a colorless to pale yellow liquid and an aromatic compound. It is miscible with alcohols, ethers, and carbon disulfide; it is readily soluble in hot water but only slightly soluble in cold water. It is hygroscopic—capable of absorbing moisture from the air until its water content reaches 22%—and is volatile with steam.
