p-Toluenesulfonic acid → HCID 22037001, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 8-quinolinecarboxaldehyde (0.248 mol), triethoxymethane (0.4464 mol) and 4-methylbenzenesulfonic acid (4 g) in ethanol (250 ml) was stirred and refluxed for 1 hour, brought to room temperature, poured out into K2CO3 10% and extracted with EtOAc. The organic layer was separated, dried (MgSO4), filtered and the solvent was evaporated. The product was used without further purification, yielding 48.5 g (80%) of 8-(diethoxymethyl)-quinoline (interm. 29).
