Potassium Carbonate → Tert-butyl 2-(2-chloro-3-formylquinolin-6-yloxy)acetate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2-chloro-6-hydroxyquinoline-3-carbaldehyde (2.35 g, 11.3 mmol) in N,N-dimethylformamide (15 mL) was added tert-butyl 2-bromoacetate (2.0 mL, 13.6 mmol) and potassium carbonate (3.13 g, 22.6 mmol). The reaction was stirred at room temperature for 1.5 hours. The reaction was diluted with water (100 mL) and allowed to stir for 1 hour. The resulting solid was collected by filtration, washed with water, and dried under vacuum to give the title compound (3.62 g, 99%) as an off-white solid. +ESI (M+H) 322.1; 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3, δ): 10.54 (s, 1 H), 8.60 (s, 1 H), 7.99 (d, J=9.36 Hz, 1 H), 7.59 (dd, J=9.17, 2.93 Hz, 1 H), 7.11 (d, J=2.73 Hz, 1 H), 4.65 (s, 2 H), 1.49 (s, 9 H).
