Potassium Carbonate → 2-(4-Aminophenylthio)quinoline

Participants

Reaction Steps

2-Chloroquinoline (0.04 moles, 6.54 g), 4-aminothiophenol (0.04 moles, 5.0 g) and potassium carbonate (0.04 moles, 5.52 g) were stirred at room temperature in 200 ml of ethanol for 18 hr. The reaction mixture was concentrated, ethyl acetate was added and the solution washed with water, dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated. The product was purified by HPLC over silica gel eluted with ethyl acetate/hexane to yield 2-(4-aminophenylthio)quinoline 4.0 g, 40%. Mass Spec (FD) 252. Calculated for C15H12N2S: C, 71.40; H, 4.79, N, 11.10. Found: C, 71.11; H, 4.98N, 11.20.
