2-Chloro-5-nitroquinoline → (R)-Indan-1-yl-(5-nitro-quinolin-2-yl)-amine

Participants

Reaction Steps

5-Nitro-2-chloroquinoline (CAS 13067-94-2, 2.4 g, 11.5 mmol) and (R)-1-aminoindane (3.13 g, 23.5 mmol) were stirred in a sealed tube at 120° C. overnight. The reaction mixture was purified by flash chromatography on silica gel (cyclohexane/ethyl acetate 100:0->50:50 gradient). (R)-Indan-1-yl-(5-nitro-quinolin-2-yl)-amine was obtained as a brown solid (2.67 g, 76%), MS: m/e=306.2 (M+H+).
