A short synthesis of 5,7‐bis(dialkylamino)‐2‐methyl‐ 8 ‐hydroxyquinolines

The bromine atoms of the title compound were replaced by the requisite amino compound to afford the desired derivatives in high yields. Thus, six target compounds viz‐ bis(diethylamino)‐, bis(dibutylamino)‐, bis(dicyclohexylamino)‐, dipyrrolidino‐, dipiperidino‐, and dipiperazino‐derivatives were obtained and characterized by spectral and elemental analyses.
