Acetone → 3-bromoquinoline 1-oxide

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 3-Bromoquinoline 5 (2.08 g, 10 mmol) in CHCl3 (5 ml) was added CH3CO2OH (5 ml, 32% solution in dilute HOAc, 20 mmol) and the mixture was stirred overnight. Acetone (3 ml) was added and the mixture was stirred an additional 15 min then poured into saturated NaHCO3 (aq) and extracted with CH2Cl2. The combined extracts were dried (K2CO3) and concentrated to yield pure 6 (2.26 g, 100%) as a tan solid. 1H NMR d (d=delta) (ppm): 7.7 dd (CH atom), 7.8 m (2 CH atom), 7.9 s (CH atom), 8.6 s (CH atom), 8.7 d (CH atom).
