Question

What happens when Quinoline and
Isoquinoline undergo oxidation with
aqueous KMnO4?

Answer 1

It crystallizes in needles, which contain two molecules of water of crystallization, and melt at 156° C. When heated above the melting-point it loses carbon dioxide and yields quinoline. Alkaline potassium permanganate oxidizes it to pyridine tricarboxylic acid (236).
