Synthesis of 2-(2-napthylthio)-quinoline-3-carboxaldehyde as a novel complexing agent

Abstract

Abstract:In this paper we propose the synthesis of 2-(2-napthylthio)-quinoline-3-carboxaldehyde. In addition to its synthesis we present elemental, IR, and NMR spectral analysis to characterize the molecule. IntroductionIn the last decade, much attention has been given to the organic ligands and transition metal complexes because of their biological relevance, interesting spectral and magnetic properties. The fused aromatic heterocyclic ligands and their metal complexes are being used extensively as pharmaceutical and chemotherapeutic agents [1][2][3][4]. On the other hand, quinoline and their derivatives form an interesting class of compounds which display attractive applications as pharmaceuticals [5][6][7][8] and are general synthetic building blocks, due to their chemical and biological relevance. Therefore, it was thought worthwhile to isolate and characterize some novel quinoline derivatives containing different donor atoms.
