반응 단계

A solution of 4.4 g of 8-bromo-2-methylquinoline (20 mmol) in 50 ml of THF was cooled to −78° C., and 8.8 ml of n-BuLi (2.5 M in hexane, 22 mmol) was added dropwise while stirring. After ten minutes of stirring, 3.5 g of 2,3,4,5-tetramethylcyclopentenone (25 mmol) was added dropwise; the solution was heated to room temperature and then heated in reflux for one hour. The solution was cooled down; ice and hydrochloric acid to approximately pH 1 were added; and after neutralization with ammonia solution, the phases were separated and the aqueous phase was extracted with pentane. The combined organic extracts were dried, the pentane was removed in a vacuum, and the remaining brown oil was distilled in a high vacuum (boiling point: 115° C. at 0.01 mbar). A 60% yield (3.2 g) of 1-(2-methyl-8-quinolyl)-2,3,4,5-tetramethylcyclopentadiene in the form of yellow, viscous oil was obtained.
