tert-Butoxy bis(dimethylamino)methane → HCID 58683726, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

7-Methyl-6-nitroquinolin (1.22 g; 6.5 mmol) and tert.butoxy-bis(dimethylamino)methan (5.2 ml; 27.3 mmol) in DMF (13 ml) were heated for 15 min. in an oil bath, which was preheated to 160° C. The reaction mixture was evaporated to dryness, taken up in THF (26 ml). NalO4 (8.3 g; 39 mmol) in water (520 ml) was added at room. temperature within 1.5 h and after stirring for another 1 h the reaction mixture was extracted with EtOAc twice. The combined organic phases were dried over Na2SO4, evaporated and purified via chromatography (SiO2; TBME) to yield the title compound as a yellow foam (920 mg; 70%).
