Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 4-hydroxyquinoline (5.33 g, 36.7 mmol) in AcOH (184 mL) was treated with N-chlorosuccinimide (6.37 g, 47.7 mmol) and the yellow homogeneous mixture was stirred and heated at 60° C. After 3 h, the mixture was cooled to room temperature and concentrated in vacuo. Saturated aqueous NaHCO3 solution (300 mL) was added until pH became ˜8.5. The resulting solid was collected by filtration, washed with water (300 mL), and dried under high vacuum to give 3-chloroquinolin-4(1H)-one (A275-1) as a yellow solid. 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ 12.28 (1H, br. s.), 8.40 (1H, d, J=6.5 Hz), 8.15 (1H, dd, J=8.2, 1.4 Hz), 7.65-7.73 (1H, m), 7.58-7.63 (1H, m), 7.39 (1H, ddd, J=8.1, 6.9, 1.2 Hz); LCMS (ESI) m/z 180.1 (M+H)+.
