Methyl iodide → HCID 86663637、化合物

To a solution of 2-chloro-5,6,7,8-tetrahydroquinolin-5-ol (319 mg, 1.737 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (8 mL) was added in small portions sodium hydride (83 mg, 2.085 mmol; 60 on mineral oil). After stirring the resulting suspension for 20 min at RT methyl iodide (0.119 ml, 1.911 mmol) was added dropwise. The reaction mixture was stirred at RT for 20 h. The reaction was quenched by addition of a saturated ammonium chloride solution. The layers were separated and the aqueous layer was extracted with ethyl acetate (3×). The combined organic layers were washed with brine and dried over sodium sulfate, filtered, and evaporated to dryness. The crude was purified by flash chromatography (silica gel, cyclohexane/ethylacetate) yielding a slightly yellow oil. Amount 210 mg. Yield 61%.
