2-Bromopropane → 2-Iodo-8-isopropoxyquinoline

Participants

Reaction Steps

Reaction of 2-iodo-quinolin-8-ol 8 with 2-bromopropane following the method described in Example 8 gave 2-iodo-8-isopropoxyquinoline 9 in 84% yield. 9: 1H NMR (CDCl3): δ 7.75-7.67 (m, 2 H), 7.45 (dd, J=7.0 and 8.0, 1 H), 7.33 (dd, J=1.2 and 8.0, 1 H), 7.12 (dd, J=1.2 and 7.0, 1 H), 4.80 (m, 1 H), 1.49 (d, J=5.9, 6 H). To a stirred solution of 9 (29 mg, 0.093 mmol) and PdCl2(PPh3)2 (5 mg) in THF (2.5 mL) under an argon atmosphere at RT was added dropwise over 5 min 2-pyridylzinc bromide (0.370 mL of a 0.5 M solution in THF, 0.185 mmol). After 2 h, saturated NH4Cl (5 mL) was added and the mixture extracted with dichloromethane (10 mL×3). The combined extracts were washed with H2O (10 mL) and brine (10 mL), dried (Na2SO4), and concentrated. Subsequent column chromatography on silica (dichloromethane/MeOH, 19:1) gave 2-(pyrid-2-yl)-8-isopropyloxyquinoline as a yellow solid. The isopropyl ether was cleaved according to the procedure of Example 8, to give 2-(Pyrid-2-yl)-8-hydroxyquinoline P1 (22 mg, 89%) (data in Table 5).
