Dimethylformamide → [8-Chloro-3-(4-chlorobenzyl)-2,4-dimethylquinolin-5-yloxy]acetonitrile

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 8-chloro-3-(4-chlorobenzyl)-2,4-dimethylquinolin-5-ol (0.80 g), N,N-dimethylformamide (10 mL), potassium carbonate (1.0 g) and bromoacetonitrile (0.25 mL) was stirred at room temperature for 2 hours. The mixture was diluted with ethyl acetate and this mixture was washed with water and saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution and then dried over magnesium sulfate. The solvent was removed under reduced pressure to afford title compound as a light brown solid, 0.90 g.
