Butyryl chloride → 2,3-Dimethyl-6-t-butyl-8-fluoro-4-butyrylquinoline

Participants

Reaction Steps

In tetrahydrofuran (3 ml) was suspended 60% sodium hydride (20 mg). The compound 1 (124 mg) was added to the suspension under ice cooling, and the mixture was stirred for 30 min. Further, butyryl chloride (200 μl) was added thereto, and the mixture was stirred for 3 hr. The reaction solution thus obtained was poured into ice water, and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The ethyl acetate layer was washed with a saturated aqueous sodium hydrogencarbonate solution and saturated brine and was then dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. The solvent was then removed under the reduced pressure. The crude product was purified by chromatography on silica gel (Wako Gel C-200, elution solvent: n-hexane-ethyl acetate (3:1)) to give 2,3-dimethyl-6-t-butyl-8-fluoro-4-butyrylquinoline (compound 4, 64 mg). 1H-NMR data on this compound in deutro-chloroform were as shown below.
