Sodium hydride → 6-bromo-1-(4-methoxybenzyl)quinolin-2(1H)-one

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of 6-bromoquinolin-2(1H)-one (2 g, 8.92 mmol) in DMF (20 mL) was added NaH (0.26 g, 10.7 mmol) at 0° C. After stirring for 30 min, 1-(chloromethyl)-4-methoxybenzene (1.67 g, 10.7 mmol) was added and the resulting reaction mixture was stirred at RT overnight. The reaction mixture was diluted with water and the precipitate was filtered, washed with water and dried. The crude product was purified by flash chromatography on silica gel using hexane/ethyl acetate to give 6-bromo-1-(4-methoxybenzyl)quinolin-2(1H)-one as yellow solid (2.4 g, 80%). 1HNMR: 400 MHz, DMSO-d6: δ 3.70 (s, 3H), 5.43 (s, 2H), 6.78 (d, J=9.60 Hz, 1H), 6.87 (dd, J=2.00, 6.40 Hz, 2H), 7.14 (d, J=8.80 Hz, 2H), 7.38 (d, J=8.80 Hz, 1H), 7.66 (dd, J=2.40, 8.80 Hz, 1H), 7.94 (d, J=−8.40 Hz, 1H), 8.01 (d, J=2.40 Hz, 1H).
