p-Bromoacetophenone → 2-(4-Bromophenyl)quinoline

Participants

Reaction Steps

Dissolving 5.0 g (25 mmol) of 4-bromoacetophenone and 5.0 g (25 mmol) of 2-aminobenzophenon into 50 milliliter of ethanol, adding 3.1 g of sodium hydroxide, the resultant suspension was refluxed under heating for 7 hours. After completion of the reaction, separation with filtration was carried out and resultant crystals were washed with water and ethanol, thereby obtaining 5.56 g of 2-(4-bromo-phenyl)-quinoline (yield: 61%).
