Participants

Reaction Steps

To a suspension of 28.2 g of 2-(2-(4-acetoxyphenyl)ethenyl)quinoline in 500 ml of methanol is added 2.58 g (0.25 equiv.) of Na2CO3. This is stirred for 24 hours at room temperature. To this reaction mixture is then added 200 ml of pH7 buffer (25% NH4OH) and the precipitate that forms is filtered off, washed with methanol and dried to give 4-[2-(quinolin-2-yl)ethenyl]phenol (M.P. 268°-270° C.).
