Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

4-(Imidazol-1-yl)-2-iodophenol (123 mg), 4-chloro-6,7-dimethoxyquinoline (288 mg), and 4-dimethylaminopyridine (158 mg) were suspended in o-dichlorobenzene (3 ml), and the suspension was stirred at 140° C. for 7.5 hr. The reaction solution was cooled to room temperature, water was then added thereto, and the mixture was extracted with chloroform. The chloroform layer was washed with saturated brine and was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. The solvent was removed therefrom by distillation under the reduced pressure. The residue was purified by thin layer chromatography using chloroform-methanol to give the title compound (92 mg, yield 45%).
