HCID 25242179, compound → 3-fluoro-6-methoxyquinoline

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a suspension of 2,4-dichloro-3-fluoro-6-methoxyquinoline (0.9 g, 3.66 mmol) in ammonia in methanol (10 mL, 462 mmol) was added carefully the slurry of Raney Nickel (5 g, 3.66 mmol) in Methanol (10 mL). The resulting reaction mixture was hydrogenated at 150 psi pressure, stirred at room temperature for 24 h. Filtered the catalyst, washed with methanol, evaporated the filtrate under reduced pressure to afford crude mass, purified by silica gel chromatography eluting with 10%-50% ethyl acetate in pet-ether to afford 3-Fluoro-6-methoxy quinoline (0.27 g, 41%) as pink solid. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3): δ ppm 8.65 (d, J=2.9 Hz, 1H), 8.01-7.98 (d, J=9 Hz, 1H) 7.67-7.64 (dd, J=9 Hz, J=2.9 Hz 1H), 7.33-7.30 (dd, J=9.0 Hz, J=2.9 Hz, 1H), 7.03 (d, J=2.9 Hz 1H), 3.93 (s, 3H).
