Hydrochloric Acid → (Quinolin-8-yloxy)-acetic acid

Temperature

80 °C

To a stirred mixture of quinolin-8-ol (500 mg, 3.45 mmol) in MeCN (5 mL) was added ethyl bromoacetate (687 mg, 4.14 mmol) and K2CO3 (952 mg, 6.90 mmol). The mixture was stirred at 80° C. for 4 hours until TLC analysis showed completion of the reaction. The mixture was filtered and the filtrate concentrated. NaOH (276 mg, 6.90 mmol) and water:EtOH (1:1, 10 mL) was then added to the residue and the resulting mixture stirred at 50° C. for 4 hours. After cooling, the mixture was acidified by addition of 1M HCl to pH 3 and then extracted with ethyl acetate (2×30 mL). The combined organic layers were washed with brine (30 mL), dried over anhydrous Na2SO4 and concentrated to yield the crude target product which was used directly for the next step.
