For example, cinchonine and quinine both afford the basic quinoline under certain conditions, but on oxidation of cinchonine, an acid -- cinchoninic acid (C_ {10} H_ {7} NO_ {2}) -- is the principal body formed, while in the case of quinine, quininic acid (C_ {10} H_ {9} NO_ {3}) is the principal product.
