8-Hydroxyquinoline reacts with phosphorus oxychloride followed by treatment with sodium ethoxide to give ethylquinolinyl phosphate and diquinolinyl phosphate. Mercuration of these products with mercuric acetate, mercuric chloride and mercuric iodide give different monomercurated and dimercurated products. Their proposed structures are confirmed by analytical data IR, UV, and NMR spectra.
