1,3-Dibromopropane → 7-(3-Bromopropoxy)-3,4-dihydroquinolin-2(1H)-one

Participants

Reaction Steps

7-hydroxy-3,4-dihydroquinolin-2(1H)-one (195 mg, 1.2 mmol), 1,3-dibromopropane (960 mg, 4.8 mmol) and anhydrous K2CO3 (166 mg, 1.2 mmol) were dissolved in EtOH and the solution was heated to reflux overnight. The solution was diluted with water and extracted with EtOAc. The combined organic layers were washed with saturated aq NaHCO3, brine, dried over anhydrous Na2SO4, concentrated in vacuo and purified by flash chromatography on silica gel column (elution with PE/EtOAc=2:1) to give 7-(3-bromopropoxy)-3,4-dihydroquinolin-2(1H)-one (intermediate 3) (300 mg, 88%) as a white solid. HPLC: 99%, RT 2.775 min. MS (ESI) m/z 284.0 [M+H]+.
