Lab Question: The base molecule of the product is quinoline, which is a fully aro-
matic double heterocyclic ring. The 4H is used to indicate ring saturation at carbon 4.
Though double bonded to oxygen, carbon 4 has no double bonds in the ring structure,
and so is a point of unsaturation, a deviation from the base quinoline structure that
must be indicated and specified using 4H.
