Reaction Steps

To a solution of 4-chloro-quinoline-2-carboxylic acid ethyl ester (910 mg, 3.87 mmol) in DMF (15 ml) was added 4-bromophenol (737 mg, 4.26 mmol), followed by Cs2CO3 (1.89 g, 5.81 mmol). The reaction mixture was then heated to 60° C. for 16 hrs. On the second day the mixture was cooled to r.t. and concentrated down. The residue was partitioned between EtOAc (10 ml) and water (20 ml). The EtOAc layer was separated, dried over MgSO4, filtrated, concentrated, and purified by Biotage with EtOAc/Hexane (15%, 4 CV) to afford 4-(4-bromo-phenoxy)-quinoline-2-carboxylic acid ethyl ester (609 mg, 42.3%). 1H NMR (300 MHz, DMSO-d6): δ 8.36 (m, 1H), 8.18 (m, 1H), 7.93 (m, 1H), 7.80 (m, 1H). 7.75 (m, 2H), 7.34 (m, 2H), 7.14 (s, 1H), 4.34 (m, 2H), 1.30 (m, 3H). LC-MS m/z=373 [C18H14BrNO3+H]+.
