Benzyl Bromide → HCID 21107328, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a suspension of sodium hydride (60%, 0.7 g, 16.8 mmol) in anhydrous N,N-dimethylformamide (80 ml) was added 5-allyl-quinolin-6-ol (intermediate 5) (2.68 g, 14 mmol) slowly at room temperature. The reaction mixture was stirred for 1 hour, then benzyl bromide (2.57 ml, 21 mmol) was added. The mixture was allowed to stir for 1.5 hrs at room temperature, quenched with water and extracted with methylene chloride. The organic layer was washed with water, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and filtered. The solvent was removed under vacuum. Chromatography (30% hexanes-ethyl acetate) afforded 3.6 g (92%) of 5-allyl-6-benzyloxy-quinoline as a light brown oil. MS ESI m/z 276 [M+H]+.
