2-Hydroxyquinoline → 1-(3-chloropropyl)quinolin-2(1H)-one

Participants

Reaction Steps

A 7 mL vial was charged with 1H-quinolin-2-one (0.62 g, 4.2 mmol), 4 mL dry DMF and NaH (60% in oil, 0.200 g, 5.1 mmol). The mixture was stirred under a N2 atmosphere at rt for 45 min, and thereafter 1-bromo-3-chloropropane (0.42 mL, 4.2 mmol) was added and the reaction was stirred at rt overnight. The reaction was diluted with EtOAc (50 mL) and washed with water (15 mL). The water phase was extracted with EtOAc (25 mL) and the combined organic phase was dried (Na2SO4), filtered, concentrated under reduced pressure and the residue was purified by flash chromatography (SiO2; CH2Cl2) to yield the title compound (0.38 g, 41%), containing 15% of 1-(3-bromopropyl)-1H-quinolin-2-one. 1H NMR (CD3OD) δ 7.90 (d, J=9.4 Hz, 1H), 7.73-7.57 (m, 3H), 7.34-7.28 (m, 1H), 6.66 (d, J=9.4 Hz), 4.46 (t, J=7.4 Hz, 2H), 3.71 (t, J=6.4 Hz, 2H), 2.21-2.02 (m, 2H); 13C NMR (CD3OD) δ 163.2, 140.7, 138.8, 131.3, 129.3, 122.8, 121.4, 120.2, 114.4, 42.18, 40.2, 30.5.
