4-Methylmorpholine → N-[4-[(3-Bromophenyl)amino]-3-cyano-6-quinolinyl]butynamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

Isobutyl chloroformate (0.788 g, 5.75 mmol) and N-methylmorpholine (0.581 g, 5.75 mmol) were added to an ice cold solution of 0.485 g (5.75 mmol) of 2-butynoic acid in 20 mL of tetrahydrofuran under N2. After stirring for 10 min, a solution of 1.50 g (4.42 mmol) of 6-amino-4-[(3-bromophenyl)amino]-3-quinolinecarbonitrile in 10 mL of tetrahydrofuran was added and the mixture was stirred overnight at 25° C. A second equivalent of preformed mixed anhydride was then added. After 6 h, the reaction was poured into saturated sodium bicarbonate and brine. The product was collected and washed with hot ethyl acetate and ethanol and dried in vacuo to give 0.638 g of yellow solid; mp 283-285° C. (dec).
