Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A solution of 2-quinoline carboxylic acid (1.2 eq.) in DMF at 0° C. was treated with EDC (1.4 eq.). The mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 1 to 2 h and then N-hydroxysuccinimide (1.0 eq.) was added. After stirring at RT for more than 3 h, the reaction mixture was poured into 60% sat. NaHCO3 and the product filtered: 1H NMR (CDCl3, 300 MHz, ppm) 8.35 (d, 1H), 8.27 (d, 1H), 8.19 (d, 1H), 7.87 (d, 1H), 7.80 (m, 1H), 7.68 (m, 1H), 2.91 (s, 4H).
