反応手順

Compound 2.1 was prepared by a modification of the published procedure of Albert and Barlin (J. Chem. Soc. 2384-2396 (1959)). 3-Aminoquinoline (15.0 g, 105 mmol) was suspended in a mixture of 10N HCl (40 mL), ice (21 g) and water (100 mL) at 0-5° C., before sodium nitrite (7.6 g, 110 mmol) was added slowly. The mixture was then added portionwise to another solution of potassium ethyl xanthate (20.8 g, 125 mmol) in water (60 mL) at 45° C. The mixture was heated for 1 h before cooling off. The mixture was then extracted with ether. The ethereal solution was washed with 2N NaOH solution, water, and brine before drying over magnesium sulfate. After filtration, the removal of the solvent gave a brown oil (15 g), which was then dissolved in ethanol (150 mL) and refluxed with KOH (25 g) under nitrogen overnight. The ethanol solvent was then removed under vacuum, and the residue was separated between water and ether. The ethereal solution was discarded. The aqueous solution was acidified to pH =˜4, before it was extracted with ether. Then ethereal solution was washed with brine, dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered and concentrated under vacuum to give crude product (7.5 g) as a brown oil. Subsequent flash chromatography with eluent (0%-5%-10% ethyl acetate/dichloromethane) produced 3-mercaptoquinoline (2.1) (5.35 g, 32% yield) as a solid.
