Dimethyl Sulfide → 7-(2-Oxoethyl)-4-phenylquinoline-2-carbonitrile

Participants

Reaction Steps

Ozone was bubbled into a solution of 7-allyl-4-phenylquinoline-2-carbonitrile (1.5 g, 5.6 mmol) in ethyl acetate (100 mL) at −78° C. for 1.5 h. Nitrogen was then bubbled into the solution and methylsulfide (2.1 mL, 28 mmol) was added. The reaction was brought back to room temperature, stirred for 1 h and concentrated to give the title compound. MS (+ESI): 273 (M+H)+.
