Peracetic Acid → Quinoline 1-oxide

Participants

Reaction Steps

Peracetic acid (7.5 mL, 39 mmole, 40%) and quinoline (5 g, 39 mmole) were stirred for 2 hours. Much of the acetic acid was removed from the reaction mixture in vacuo. The resulting residue was dissolved in methylene chloride (50 mL) and washed twice with saturated sodium bicarbonate solution. After drying over MgSO4 the solvent was evaporated and the residue was triturated with ether. The resulting tan solid was collected by filtration. This material was carried on without further characterization.
