Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of ethyl-3-quinolinate (0.50 gm, 0.0025 mole) and acetophenone (0.30 gm, 0.0025 mole) was added to an ice-cold suspension of potassium tertiary butoxide in THF (5.0 ml). The reaction mixture was stirred at room temp. for 2 hours, acidified with a dilute acetic acid (10%). The resulting solid was filtered, air dried and recrystallised from boiling ethyl acetate to yield the desired product as a pale yellow colour solid.
