Reaction Steps

A mixture of 2-quinolinebutanol (2.56 g), 1,6-dibromohexane (5 ml), dichloromethane (2 ml), TAB (150 mg) and 50% aqueous sodium hydroxide (5 ml) was stirred at room temperature for 18 h. Ether (40 ml) was added and the organic phase separated, washed with water (20 ml), brine (20 ml), dried and evaporated in vacuo to an oil. The oil was purified by chromatography over a column of silica (Merck 60, Art. 7734). Elution with hexane and hexane-ether (9:1) followed by hexane-ether (1:1) afforded the title compound (2.12 g) as a colourless oil, t.l.c. (diethyl ether), Rf 0.50.
