Reissert reaction

Overview

The Reissert reaction is a series of chemical reactions that transforms quinoline to quinaldic acid.[1][2] Quinolines will react with acid chlorides and potassium cyanide to give 1-acyl-2-cyano-1,2-dihydroquinolines, also known as Reissert compounds. Hydrolysis gives the desired quinaldic acid.
