Quinoline → Quinoline 1-oxide

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a 100 mL round bottom flask containing a solution of quinoline (12.2 mmol) in 50 mL of DCM was added 5.3 g of m-CPBA (30.6 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred for 24 h. The reaction mixture was then diluted DCM (100 mL), washed with 5% NaOH (2×100 mL), dried (MgSO4), filtered, and concentrated in vacuo to give solid quinoline-N-oxide (90-95% yield).
