Participants

Reaction Steps

4-Methoxy-8-methylquinoline (346 mg, 2 mmole), N-bromosuccinimide (365 mg, 2.05 mmole) and benzoyl peroxide (10 mg) in CCl4 (8 ml) were heated under reflux for 2.5 hours. The mixture was cooled and the succinimide was filtered off. The filtrate was washed with dilute aqueous NaHCO3 (1×) and water (1×), dried (Na2SO4) and evaporated to yield the sub-title compound as a pale yellow solid which was recrystallised from petroleum ether/cyclohexane to give colourless needles.
