Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of 2-chloro-6-methoxyquinoline-3-carbaldehyde (1.50 g, 6.77 mmol) in THF (10 mL) in a 20 mL microwave vial equipped with a magnetic stirrer was added propan-2-amine (5.76 mL, 67.7 mmol) and the reaction mixture was stirred for 12.5 h at 160° C. and finally 45 min at 180° C. under microwave irradiation. After cooling to RT, the volatiles were removed at 40° C. under vacuum and the resulting yellow oil was taken up in a mixture of THF:1 N aq. HCl=1:1 (50 mL) and stirred for 1 h at RT. The volatiles were then removed at 40° C. under vacuum and the residue was then neutralised with saturated NaHCO3 aqueous solution before extraction with CH2Cl2 (100 mL). The organic phase was washed with brine (20 mL), dried over MgSO4, filtered, and concentrated under vacuum to give 2-(isopropylamino)-6-methoxyquinoline-3-carbaldehyde SLA 28186 as an orange solid (1.64 g, 99% yield).
