Reaction Steps

6-Chloro-2-methylquinoline N-oxide (1.73 g, 8.1 mmol) was added to a stirring solution of p-toluenesulfonyl chloride (1.7 g, 8.96 mmol) in dichloroethane (80 mL). The reaction mixture was heated to 100° C. overnight under N2, cooled and concentrated, partitioned between 10% K2CO3 /ethyl acetate, dried over MgSO4, and evaporated under reduced pressure to afford a solid. The crude solid was purifed by flash chromatography (4:1 hexane/ethyl acetate) to afford 0.93 g (52%) of pure product as an off white solid.
