Citric Acid → 8-Bromo-4-((4-methoxybenzyl)amino)quinoline-3-carboxylic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of ethyl 8-bromo-4-((4-methoxybenzyl)amino)quinoline-3-carboxylate (1.2 g, 2.89 mmol) in THF-MeOH—H2O (10:7:3, 20 mL) was added LiOH—H2O (452 mg, 10.77 mmol) and the reaction mixture was stirred at rt for 12 h. Then the reaction mixture was acidified with citric acid and the organic volatiles were removed. The residue was extracted with EtOAc. The organic layer was washed with brine, separated, dried, filtered and concentrated to afford 1.0 g of the title product. 1H NMR (300 MHz, DMSO d6): δ 8.96 (s, 1H), 8.42-8.39 (d, J=8.7 Hz, 1H), 8.11-8.09 (d, J=7.2 Hz, 1H), 7.35-7.30 (m, 3H), 6.95-6.92 (d, J=8.7 Hz, 2H), 4.91 (s, 2H), 3.74 (s, 3H).
