8-Aminoquinoline → Methyl 4-(8-quinolylaminomethyl)benzoate

Participants

Reaction Steps

8-Aminoquinoline (1.26 g) was dissolved in DMF (20 ml), and potassium carbonate (1.2 g) and methyl 4-bromomethylbenzoate (1.0 g) were added. After stirring for 20 hours, the reaction solution was concentrated. The resulting residue was diluted with chloroform and water was added. The mixture was extracted with chloroform. The organic layer was washed with saturated brine, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, and concentrated to obtain the title compound (2.20 g) as a yellow syrup.
