2-Methylquinoline → HCID 621053, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

1,4-Benzenedialdehyde (30 g, 0.22 mol), 2-methylquinoline (21 g, 0.15 mol) and acetic anhydride (41.5 ml, 0.40 mol) were dissolved in 160 ml of xylene, followed by heating under reflux for 7 hours. After the reaction mixture was allowed to cool down to room temperature, 200 ml of petroleum ether were added and the resulting precipitate was collected by filtration. Further, the mother liquor was concentrated under reduced pressure and the residue was recrystallized from diethyl ether, whereby 13.6 g of the title compound were obtained (yield: 35%).
