Morpholine → 4-(6-Bromoquinolin-4-yl)morpholine

Participants

Reaction Steps

6-Bromo-4-chloroquinoline (1.0 G, 4.1 mmol), morpholine (0.468 g, 5.3 mmol) and K2CO3 (1.0 G, 7.2 mmol) in NMP (5 mL) were heated at 100° C. for 12 h. The reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature, diluted with water (20 mL) and the product was extracted into EtOAc/hexanes (140 mL/60 mL). The organic layer was washed with water (75 mL) and brine (20 mL) successively, dried over MgSO4 and filtered. The filtrate was concentrated and purified by flash column chromatography (Combiflash® companion System® with RediSep® silica gel column 40 g and 30-70% EtOAC/hexanes as an eluting solvent]. The product fractions were concentrated to provide 4-(6-bromoquinolin-4-yl)morpholine (700 mg) as a white solid. 1H NMR (300 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ 8.73 (d, J=5.0 Hz, 1H), 8.13 (d, J=2.2 Hz, 1H), 7.90 (d, J=8.9 Hz, 1H), 7.81 (dd, J=9.0, 2.2 Hz, 1H), 7.06 (d, J=5.0 Hz, 1H), 3.87-3.84 (m, 4H), 3.18-3.02 (m, 4H).
