Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a solution of ethanol (5 mL) was added NaH (141 mg, 5.6 mmol, 95%) at 0° C. and the reaction mixture was stirred at rt for 30 min. before 4-chloroquinolin-8-amine (200 mg, 1.12 mmol) was added to the reaction mixture. Then the reaction mixture was heated in a sealed tube at 110° C. for 12 h before it was quenched with 1N HCl. Then the reaction mixture was extracted with chloroform and the organic layer was washed with brine, separated, dried, filtered and concentrated. The residue was purified by column chromatography to afford 140 mg of the title product. MS [M+H]+: 189.15.
