Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a suspension of 6-iodo-quinoline (1.0 g, 4 mmol) and Cu(0) (559 mg, 8.8 mmol) in dry DMSO was added bromodifluoro-acetic acid ethyl ester (893 mg, 4.4 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred under N2 at 55° C. for 15 h. The mixture was poured in a solution of K2CO3 and extracted with EtOAc. The organic layer was collected and dried over MgSO4. The crude was purified by silica gel column to give the title compound as a red oil (310 mg, 30%). 1H-NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ ppm 1.33 (t, 3H), 4.334 (q, 2H), 7.52 (m, 1H), 7.93 (m, 1H), 8.15 (s, 1H), 8.20-8.23 (m, 2H), 9.03 (s, 1H).
