4-Amino-m-cresol → HCID 10020530, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

3-Butyryl-4-chloro-8-vinylquinoline (20.0 g, 77 mmol) and 4-amino-m-cresol (9.5 g, 77 mmol) were heated together under reflux in 1,4-dioxan (150 ml) for 2.5 hours. The solvent was evaporated and the residue was dissolved in dichloromethane, washed with water, 2M hydrochloric acid, sodium hydrogen carbonate solution and brine. The solution was dried (anhyd. MgSO4), filtered and evaporated to an oil which was chromatographed (silica gel, 1% methanol in dichloromethane) to give 3-butyryl-4-(4-hydroxy-2-methylphenylamino)-8-vinylquinoline as orange crystals (9.0 g, 32%) m.p. 150°-2°.
