Hydrochloric Acid → 1-(6-Bromoquinolin-2-yl)ethanone

Participants

Reaction Steps

3M HCl(aq.) (10 mL, 30.0 mmol) was added to a suspension of 6-bromo-2-(1-ethoxyvinyl)quinoline (780 mg, 2.80 mmol) in acetone (20 mL) and the reaction mixture was stirred at rt for 5 h. The reaction mixture was concentrated, dissolved into THF (20 mL) and treated with 3N HCl (aq.) (5 mL) was clear reaction solution was stirred at 60° C. for 5 h. The reaction was, cooled, neutralized with aq. NaOH and NaHCO3 and extracted with EtOAc. The organic layer was dried, and concentrated to yield crude 1-(6-bromoquinolin-2-yl)ethanone (710 mg) as white solid. LC-MS retention time 3.703 min; m/z 250, 251.99 (1:1) (MH+). LC data was recorded on a Shimadzu LC-10AS liquid chromatograph equipped with a PHENOMENEX® Luna 3u C18 2.0×50 mm column using a SPD-10AV UV-Vis detector at a detector wave length of 220 nM. The elution conditions employed a flow rate of 0.8 mL/min, a gradient of 100% Solvent A/0% Solvent B to 0% Solvent A/100% Solvent B, a gradient time of 4 min, a hold time of 1 min, and an analysis time of 5 min where Solvent A was 10% MeOH/90% H2O/0.1% trifluoroacetic acid and Solvent B was 10% H2O/90% MeOH/0.1% trifluoroacetic acid. MS data was determined using a MICROMASS® Platform for LC in electrospray mode.
