Tetrahydrofuran → 4-(2-Chlorophenyl)-3-(4-hydroxycinnamoylamino)-6,8-dimethylquinoline

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 3-amino-4-(2-chlorophenyl)-6,8-dimethylquinoline (282 mg), 4-acetoxycinnamoyl chloride (250 mg) and tetrahydrofuran (5 ml) was stirred at room temperature for 6 hours. After being diluted with water and made neutral with a sodium hydrogen carbonate saturated solution, the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The ethyl acetate layer was washed with water and dried (MgSO4). The solvent was removed, and the residue was dissolved in tetrahydrofuran-methanol solution (1:1, 6 ml). Then, 2N-hydrochloric acid was added to the solution which was thereafter stirred at room temperature for 1.5 hours. The resultant solution was diluted with water, adjusted to pH 4 by addition of 2N-hydrochloric acid and extracted with ethyl acetate. The ethyl acetate layer was washed with water and dried (MgSO4). The resultant was removed to give crystals of 4-(2-chlorophenyl)-3-(4-hydroxycinnamoylamino)-6,8-dimethylquinoline (335 mg, 78.3%). The obtained crystals were recrystallized from ethanol to afford colorless needles.
