Hydrochloric Acid → 2-(3-Methoxyquinolin-6-yl)propanoic acid hydrochloride

Participants

Reaction Steps

Tert-butyl 2-(3-methoxyquinolin-6-yl)propanoate (0.865 g, 3.01 mmol) was dissolved in EtOAc (0.2M, 15 mL), and HCl (g) (0.0915 ml, 3.01 mmol) was bubbled through the solution for approximately 5 minutes. The reaction vessel was sealed and the reaction was stirred at room temperature for 1.5 h until completion. The reaction mixture was concentrated in vacuo to yield 2-(3-methoxyquinolin-6-yl)propanoic acid hydrochloride (0.805 g, 99.9% yield) as an orange solid.
