Trifluoroacetic acid → (7-methoxy-4-methyl-2-oxoquinolin-1(2H)-yl)acetaldehyde

Participants

Reaction Steps

Into 2 mL of an 80% aqueous trifluoroacetic acid solution, 200 mg of 1-(1,3-dioxolan-2-ylmethyl)-7-methoxy-4-methyl-2-oxo-1,2-dihydroquinoline was dissolved, and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 11 hours. The reaction mixture was added with an aqueous saturated sodium hydrogen carbonate solution to be alkalified, and then extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with an aqueous saturated sodium chloride solution and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and the solvent was removed under reduced pressure to obtain a yellow oily substance, (7-methoxy-4-methyl-2-oxoquinolin-1(2H)-yl)acetaldehyde.
