Reaction Steps

2-hydroxyquinoline (0.29 g, 2.0 mmoles) was dissolved in 4 ml of dimethylformamide, 60% sodium hydride (80 mg, 2.0 mmoles) was added to the solution, and the mixture was stirred at 60° C. for 30 minutes and then cooled to room temperature. 1,4-dibromobutane (2.16 g, 10 mmoles) was further added, and the resulting mixture was stirred at 60° C. for 4 hours. After chloroform was added to the reaction mixture, insolubles were removed by filtration, the filtrate was washed with water, and the solvent was evaporated. The residue thus obtained was purified by chromatography on a silica gel column to give 36 g (yield 64%) of the title compound as an oil.
