Carbon tetrabromide → HCID 13593314, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution under argon of 2-chloro-3-quinolylmethanol (obtained according to 4.a, 15.5 g 80 mmol) and triphenylphosphine (32 g, 120 mmol) is treated with small portions of tetrabromomethane (40 g, 120 mmol) while keeping the temperature of the reaction medium below 30° C. After agitation under argon for 2 hours at ambient temperature, the reaction medium is concentrated under reduced pressure, and the residue is purified by column chromatography (SiO2, ethyl acetate/heptane: 1/1) in order to produce 13.5 g (66%) of a white solid, m.p. 125° C.
