Abstract
Application of acetyl chloride to 4-nitroquinaldine 1-oxide results in consecutive formation of 4-nitroquinaldine 1-oxide (II), 4-chloroquinaldaldehyde 1-oxide oxime acetate (III) and or 4-chloroquinaldaldehyde 1-oxide (IV), and 4-chloroquinaldonitrile 1-oxide (V). Reaction of quinaldine 1-oxide, acetyl chloride, and silver nitrite takes exactly the same course. Structure of the products obtained by this reaction was clarified.
