Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

478 mg (1.48 mmol) of tetrabutylammonium bromide and 493 mg (3.37 mmol) of phosphorus pentoxide are added to a suspension of 500 mg (1.21 mmol) of 6-[5-(4-chlorophenyl)pyridin-2-ylethynyl]-4-methyl-1H-quinolin-2-one in 10 mL of toluene and the reaction mixture is heated to 95° C. for 1.5 hours. After cooling, the organic phase is decanted off, the residue is treated twice with toluene in the ultrasound bath, and the combined organic phases are washed with semisaturated sodium bicarbonate solution and water and dried over magnesium sulfate. After the desiccant and solvent have been eliminated, the residue is dried and reacted further without purification. Yield: 120 mg (18% of theoretical); C23H14BrClN2 (M=433.730); calc.: molpeak (M+H)+: 433/435/437 (BrCl); found: molpeak (M+H)+: 433/435/437 (BrCl).
