1-Bromo-3-chloropropane → 6-(3-Chloropropoxy)carbostyril

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a suspension of 6-hydroxycarbostyril (50 g) and 1-bromo-3-chloropropane (120 ml) in dimethylformamide (600 ml) is added potassium carbonate (65 g) in portions at room temperature. The mixture is stirred at room temperature for three days, and the insoluble materials are collected by filtration and washed with n-hexane. The resulting crystals are further washed successively with water, acetone and n-hexane, and dried to give 6-(3-chloropropoxy)carbostyril (50.7 g) as a white powder.
