Oxalyl chloride → 6-chloro-4-(3-hydroxyphenyl)-3-(3-methyl-isoxazol-5-yl)-1H-quinolin-2-one

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 2-amino-5-chloro-3′-hydroxybenzophenone (0.1 g, 0.4 mmol), (3-methyl-isoxazol-5-yl)-acetyl chloride (1.18 mmol) [synthesized from the reaction between (3-methyl-isoxazol-5-yl)-acetic acid hydrochloride and oxalyl chloride catalyzed by N,N-dimethylformamide in DCM], triethylamine (Et3N) (0.20 mL) and DCM (10 mL) was heated to reflux overnight. The mixture was then cooled to room temperature and concentrated, and the residue was purified by flash chromatography on silica gel (5% methanol in DCM) to give 6-chloro-4-(3-hydroxyphenyl)-3-(3-methyl-isoxazol-5-yl)-1H-quinolin-2-one (99 mg, 70%). 1H NMR (300 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ 9.68 (s, 1H), 7.68-7.60 (m, 2H), 7.43 (d, J=10.0 Hz, 1H), 7.25 (t, J=10.0 Hz, 1H), 7.01-6.97 (m, 1H), 6.88-6.80 (m, 1H), 6.68-6.59 (m, 1H), 6.47 (s, 1H), 2.15 (s, 3H). MS: 353.2 (M+H).
