Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

(2E)-3-ethoxy-N-(4-trifluoromethylphenyl)prop-2-enamide (3.44 g, 16.8 mmol) was added in several batches to sulfuric acid (20 ml) at 0° C. and then stirred for 2 hours at 0° C. The resulting mixture was quenched with ice-water (100 ml). The product was precipitated from water and collected by filtration to afford 6-(trifluoromethyl)-1,2-dihydroquinolin-2-one as a yellow solid (2.0 g, 56%). (ES, m/z): [M+H]+ 214. 1H NMR (300 MHz, DMSO): δ 8.14 (s, 1H), 8.03 (d, J=9.6 Hz, 1H), 7.80-7.83 (m, 1H), 7.45 (d, J=8.4 Hz, 1H), 6.61-6.65 (t, J=9.6 Hz, 1H).
