Question

Quinoline on oxidation with
acidified KMnO4 followed by
decarboxylation gives
Answer
A. Decahydroquinoline
B. Nicotinic acid
c. 1,2-dibromoquinoline
D. 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoline​

Answer 1

Answer:

c)1,2 _ dibromoquinoline

Answer 2

Nicotinic Acid

Explanation:

Option B: Nicotinic Acid

1. Quinoline on oxidation with acidic KMnO4 gives Quinolinic Acid (Pyridine 2,3-dicarboxylic acid).

2. Quinolinic acid on further decarboxylation in the presence of heat yields Nicotinic Acid (Pyridine 3-carboxylic acid).
