Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of 3-quinolinecarboxylic acid (3.32 g), 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide hydrochloride (3.37 g), N-hydroxybenzotriazole (2.6 g) and dichloromethane (50 ml) at 0° C. was added triethylamine (2.3 ml). After 15 minutes, a solution of 4-ethyl-2,4-hexadien-1-ylamine (2.0 g) in dichloromethane (10 ml) was added dropwise to the solution over a period of 10 minutes. The mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 30 minutes and then at room temperature overnight. The reaction mixture was diluted with aqueous sodium hydrogen carbonate. The separated organic phase was washed with water and brine, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and evaporated in vacuo. The residue was chromatographed on silica gel (1% methanol-chloroform) to give N-[(2E,4E)- and (2Z,4E)-4-ethyl-2,4-hexadien-1-yl]-3-quinolinecarboxamide (3.18 g) as an oil.
