Sodium Hydroxide → 2-(4-Chloro-7-methoxy-8-methylquinolin-2-yl)-4-isopropylthiazole

Participants

Reaction Steps

2-(4-Isopropyl-thiazol-2-yl)-7-methoxy-8-methyl-quinolin-4-ol (526 mg, 1.67 mmol) was taken up in POCl3 (4.0 mL) and placed in a 85° C. oil bath. The reaction was monitored by LC/MS and determined to be complete after 40 min. The reaction was cooled to rt, and poured into ice water. Adjust pH=10 with 10N NaOH. The mixture was extracted with CH2Cl2, dried with Na2SO4, filtered and was concentrated to afford analytically clean 4-chloro-2-(4-isopropyl-thiazol-2-yl)-7-methoxy-8-methyl-quinoline (532 mg, 96%) as a yellow solid.
