Quinoline → HCID 13563467, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

16 g (0.1 mole) of bromine are added dropwise to 17.3 g (0.1 mole) of 5-(4-chlorophenyl)-pent-1-en-5-ol in 50 ml of absolute ether at 0° C. When the addition has ended, 13 g (0.1 mole) of quinoline are added, whereupon the temperature rises to 15° C. and quinoline hydrobromide precipitates. The precipitate is filtered off with suction, the filtrate is evaporated in vacuo and the residue is heated on a waterbath for 1 hour. After cooling, the residue is taken up in ether, the mixture is washed with 15% strength hydrochloric acid and with water, dried over sodium sulphate and concentrated in vacuo and the residue is distilled under a high vacuum. 5 g (18% of theory) of 2-bromomethyl-5-(4-chlorophenyl)tetrahydrofuran of boiling point 145° C./0.13 mbar are obtained. ##STR111##
