N-bromobutanimide → HCID 66781369, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

(E)-8-(tert-butyldimethylsilyloxy)-2-(2-methoxyvinyl)quinoline (1.90 g, 6.02 mmol) was dissolved in a solution of THF (20 mL) and water (3 mL). N-bromosuccinimide (1.13, 6.32 mmol) was added to the reaction mixture. After the reaction was judged to be complete (monitored by MS), 4-(2-methoxyethoxy)pyridin-2-amine 1.01 g, 6.02 mmol) was added. The reaction was then heated to reflux for 5 hours and then cooled to ambient temperature. To the reaction mixture was added 10 ml of 1.0 M tetrabutylammonium fluoride in THF. The reaction mixture was stirred at ambient temperature for 1 hour and then diluted with water. The mixture was extracted with 1:4 isopropyl acetate:dichloromethane. The combined organic phase was dried (sodium sulfate), filtered and condensed under reduced pressures. The residue was purified by flash chromatography, eluting with gradient from 100% EtOAc to 10% MeOH (w/6% NH4OH)/EtOAc to obtain 700 mg of the desired product as a red solid.
