Benzyl mercaptan → HCID 86687567, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A vial was charged with 7-bromo-4-chloro-6-fluoroquinoline (0.141 g, 0.541 mmol), Xantphos (0.016 g, 0.027 mmol), and Pd2(dba)3 (0.012 g, 0.014 mmol) and after flushing with argon, dioxane (1.083 ml) and n,n-diisopropylethylamine (0.189 ml, 1.083 mmol) were added in sequence. The vial was sealed, and was placed in a heating bath at 80° C. for 10 minutes, after which benzylmercaptan (0.067 ml, 0.568 mmol) was added drop wise via syringe. The reaction was stirred for 30 minutes. The material was diluted with water, and washed with DCM (×3), and the combined organics were dried via phase separator and concentrated in vacuo. The material was purified via silica gel chromatography eluting with 0-50% ethyl acetate in heptane to yield 7-(benzylthio)-4-chloro-6-fluoroquinoline (0.148 g, 0.487 mmol, 90% yield) as a light yellow solid. m/z (ESI) 304.2 (M+H)+.
