Acetic Anhydride → HCID 22052544, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

100 Milligrams of 4-hydroxy-2,3-dimethyl-6-n-pentyl-quinoline (Compound No. 97) was stirred in 2 ml of acetic anhydride at 120° C. for 4 hours. After the solvent was evaporated, 20 ml of ethyl acetate was added and the reaction mixture was washed with an aqueous saturated sodium hydrogencarbonate solution and a saturated brine and dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. After the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure, the resultant crude product was purified by column chromatography on silica gel (WAKOGEL® C-100) eluting with n-hexane/ethyl acetate (5:1) to obtain 87.4 mg of 4-acetoxy-2,3-dimethyl-6-n-pentyl-quinoline (yield 74%). Its NMR spectral data are shown in the following Table 2.
