4-Chloro-6,7-dimethoxyquinoline → {4-[(6,7-Dimethoxy-4-quinolyl)oxy]phenyl}(3-methylphenyl)methanone

Participants

Reaction Steps

Under argon, 4-hydroxyphenyl 3-methylphenyl ketone (307 mg) obtained in Example 132 and 4-dimethylaminopyridine (194 mg) were added to xylene (5 ml), and the admixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 hour. 4-Chloro-6,7-dimethoxyquinoline (324 mg) was added, and the admixture was then refluxed with heat for 23 hours. The reaction mixture was treated in the same manner as described in Example 122 to obtain 262 mg of the title compound (yield: 45%).
