Data on the production and the reactions of quinoline aldoximes and ketoximes and their derivatives are reviewed. The synthesis of new heterocycles based on quinoline oximes is examined separately. The main results from investigation of the biological activity of quinoline oximes are presented.Quinoline oximes are widely used as intermediates in organic synthesis. In the present paper the principal methods for the production of quinoline oximes and their reactions are reviewed. Methods for the synthesis of new heterocyclic systems from derivatives of these oximes are considered under a separated heading. The principal methods for investigation of the structure of quinoline oximes with regard to isomerism are also briefly discussed. In the last section the results from investigation of the biological activity of the derivatives of quinoline oximes are described.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
