Acetic Acid → 6-(3-bromo-2-hydroxypropoxy)-3,4-dihydroquinolin-2(1H)-one

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of 6-(oxiran-2-ylmethoxy)-3,4-dihydroquinolin-2(1H)-one (0.2 g, 0.909 mmol) in dry THF (5 mL) was added acetic acid (0.162 g, 2.272 mmol) and lithium bromide (0.118 g, 1.363 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 3 h. The reaction mixture was concentrated to remove solvent and water was added (25 mL). The solid was filtered and dried to give crude 6-(3-bromo-2-hydroxypropoxy)-3,4-dihydroquinolin-2(1H)-one as an off-white solid (0.25 g, 91.675 mmol). LCMS: RT 0.65 min; LCMS (ES-API), m/z 300.0 (M+H).
