Sodium dithionate → 3-[(3-Amino-7-bromoquinolin-4-yl)amino]propan-1-ol

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of sodium dithionate (27.5 g, 158 mmol) in water (60 mL) was added to a solution of 3-[(7-bromo-3-nitroquinolin-4-yl)amino]propan-1-ol (10.3 g, 31.6 mmol) in ethanol (175 mL), and the mixture was stirred vigorously for four hours at ambient temperature. The solvent was removed under reduced pressure, and the residue was partitioned between dichloromethane/chloroform/methanol (500 mL) and saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate (200 mL). The aqueous layer was separated and extracted with chloroform (5×200 mL), and the combined organic fractions were dried over sodium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated under reduced pressure to provide 7.27 g of 3-[(3-amino-7-bromoquinolin-4-yl)amino]propan-1-ol.
