A new compound, 2-(2-methoxyphenyl)-4-methyl-6-nitroquinoline, was obtained via Suzuki reaction. An unexpected side product, 2-(2-methoxyphenyl)-4-methylquinolin-6-amine, was isolated. The structures of the novel compounds were confirmed by 1H, 13C and 2D-NMR. Their optical properties were also studied.
Lyapchev et al. (Thu,) studied this question.
