Sodium Acetate → Ethyl 4-hydroxy-5-methylquinoline-3-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

A flask charged with ethyl 8-bromo-5-methyl-4-oxo-1H-quinoline-3-carboxylate (895 mg, 2.89 mmol), sodium acetate (237 mg, 2.89 mmol) and Pd/C (180 mg, 1.69 mmol) was flushed under a N2 followed by evacuating under vacuum. Acetic acid (21 mL) was added under an inert atmosphere followed by evacuating under vacuum. The reaction was then stirred for 4 h in an atmosphere of H2. The reaction was filtered to remove the Pd catalyst and the solvent was evaporated to give ethyl 5-methyl-4-oxo-1H-quinoline-3-carboxylate (145 mg, 22%).
