Reissert reaction

The Reissert reaction is a series of chemical reactions that transforms quinoline to quinaldic acid. 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.

Named after Arnold Reissert
Reaction type Addition reaction

The Reissert reaction is also successful with isoquinolines and most pyridines.

Several reviews have been published.
