Reaction Steps

A solution of (2,8-bis(trifluoromethyl)-4-quinolinyl)oxirane (208 mg, 0.68 mmol) in ether (3 mL) was treated with BF3.etherate (0.2 mL), stirred at room temperature for 2 h, poured into dilute NaHCO3 (20 mL) and extracted with EtOAc (2×20 mL). The combined extracts were dried (MgSO4), concentrated in vacuo and the residue purified by flash chromatography [SiO2; heptane-EtOAc (2:1)] to give the title compound (196 mg, 82%) as a yellow oil: IR νmax (Nujol)/cm−1 3700-3200, 3087, 2982, 2879, 1606, 1586, 1431, 1372, 1311, 1191, 1144, 1109, 769; NMR δH (400 MHz, CDCl3) 1.26 (3H, t, J 7.0 Hz), 3.24-3.31 (1H, br s), 3.48 (1H, dd, J 8.4, 9.6 Hz), 3.54-3.69 (2H, m), 3.84 (1H, dd, J 9.6, 3.2 Hz), 5.70 (1H, dd, J 8.4, 3.2 Hz), 7.75 (1H, t, J 7.9 Hz), 8.13 (1H, s), 8.17 (1H, d, J 7.5 Hz), 8.28 (1H, d, J 9.1 Hz); M/Z 354 (M+H)+.
