synthesis, 8-Methoxyquinoline 5-acetic acid, IR and herbicidal activityAbstract
The quinoline skeleton is often used for the design of many synthetic compounds with diverse pharmacological properties. 8-Methoxyquinoline 5-amino acetic acid was synthesized from the coupling of monochloroacetic acid with 5-amino-8-methoxyquinoline. The IR showed OH stretch absorption and an amino group (-NH), which is not too prominent at 3450 cm⁻¹ and 3300 cm⁻¹, and carbonyl (C=O) absorption is depicted at 1614 cm⁻¹. The herbicidal activity of the synthesized compound was tested on the weeds, and after 11 days of application, the weeds had dried completely, indicating the efficacy of the compound.
