7-Aminoquinoline → HCID 22462229, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 401 mg of 7-aminoquinoline in 15 mL of glacial acetic acid are added 913 mg of sodium acetate followed by a solution of 0.14 mL of bromine in 15 mL of glacial acetic acid. The resulting yellow slurry is stirred at room temperature for 2 hours. The brown mixture is rotary evaporated and the residue is diluted with water and ethyl acetate. The mixture is basified using 1 N sodium hydroxide and decanted. The organic layer is washed with water followed by brine. The combined aqueous layers are extracted with ethyl acetate; the combined organic layers are dried over magnesium sulfate and rotary evaporated. The residue is purified by flash column chromatography on silica gel, eluting with 20% to 50% ethyl acetate/hexanes followed by recrystallization from hexanes/methylene chloride to provide 521 mg of 7-amino-8-bromoquinoline as a pale brown solid.
