3-(Trifluoromethyl)aniline → 2-Methyl-7-(trifluoromethyl)quinoline

참여 물질

반응 단계

To a solution of 3-(trifluoromethyl)aniline (12.43 mL, 99.92 mmol) in 6 N HCl (50 mL) in water was added (E)-but-2-enal (18.77 mL, 229.8 mmol) dropwise at reflux. The reaction was stirred at reflux for 3 hours. After cooling to ambient temperature, ethyl acetate (200 mL) was added. The aqueous layer was separated, basified with ammonium hydroxide to about pH 9, and extracted with DCM (2×200 mL). The combined organic layers were dried (sodium sulfate), filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by flash chromatography on silica gel (5:1 hexane/ethyl acetate) to give 2-methyl-7-(trifluoromethyl)quinoline (6.1 g, 28.9%) as a solid.
