Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A solution of 2-methyl-3-butyn-2-ol (2.45 mL, 25.1 mmol) and 1,8-diazabicyclo-[5.4.0]-7-undecene (4.25 mL, 28.4 mmol) in acetonitrile (15.5 mL) was stirred 0° C. for 30 minutes, and trifluoroacetic anhydride (3.55 mL, 25.1 mmol) was added dropwise. The resulting mixture was added dropwise to a mixed solution of 6-hydroxyquinoline (2.43 g, 16.7 mmol), copper (I) chloride (8.3 mg, 0.0835 mmol), acetonitrile (15.5 mL) and 1,8-diazabicyclo-[5.4.0]-7-undecene (4.25 mL, 28.4 mmol) at 0° C., and stirred at 0° C. for 3 hours. The resulting solution was acidified with 1 mol/L HCl and extracted with ethyl acetate, and the resulting aqueous phase was neutralized with aqueous sodium hydrogencarbonate solution, extracted with ethyl acetate, and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. After distilling off the solvent, the residue was purified by column chromatography (hexane/ethyl acetate=1/1 to 1/3) and the aimed product was obtained.
