Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

1,8-Diiodooctane (mmol) was added to a solution (30 mL) of dry quinoline, and the solution heated for 24 hours at 65° C. The resulting precipitate was filtered, and the product washed five times with dry diethyl ether. The resulting yellow solid was isolated in an 89% yield. 1H NMR (300 MHz, DMSO-D6) δ 9.53 (1H, d, C2-H), 9.29 (1H, d, C3-H), 8.61 (1H, d, C8-H), 8.50 (1H, d, C4-H), 8.29 (1H, t, C7-H), 8.18 (1H, t, C5-H), 8.07 (1H, d, C6-H), 5.09 (2H, t, C′1-CH2), 1.96 (2H, m, C′2-CH2), 1.25 (4H, m, C′3&4-CH2); 13C NMR (75 MHz, DMSO-D6) δ 149.5, 147.4, 137.4, 135.6, 130.7, 129.9, 129.7, 122.1, 118.9, 57.3, 29.5, 28.5, 25.7.
