Hydrazine hydrate (1:1) → 6-(Aminomethyl)quinoline

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2-(quinolin-6-ylmethyl)isoindoline-1,3-dione (20 g, 69.4 mmol) in MeOH (100 mL) was added hydrazine monohydrate (3.47 g, 69.4 mmol). The solution was heated at reflux for 3 h, then cooled to it and filtered through celite. The filtrate was concentrated in vacuo. EtOAc then was added to the residue and the resulting solution was filtered and concentrated in vacuo to afford 5 g (41%) of the title compound. LCMS (method B): [MH]+=159, tR=0.93 min.
